Questions from Blackthorn
Is Blackthorn close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Blackthorn?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What should the venue provide?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests.

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
