Questions from Hamsey
Is it possible to have you in Railway Land?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you come out to small places like Hamsey?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What’s on the menu
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
