For planners, venues and organisers

How our Mexican street food works in Upper Upnor
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. For agricultural and county shows and village fairs, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and vegan tacos and more.
Rural events near Upper Upnor can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
