Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Chilswell: your questions answered
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Chilswell?
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.
How far is Chilswell from London?
It’s about 53 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
