Common questions in Tide Mills
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Tide Mills?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Will you travel to a small place like Tide Mills?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What you’d like on the menu

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Summer events in Tide Mills have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
