DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican street food in Staplehurst, from our truck or trailer
We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. Popular choices include quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for crew and volunteer catering and festivals.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Staplehurst can be a good fit for a taco truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- Food, drinks or both
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your date and when you want service to start
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.

Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. For an evening event in Staplehurst, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
