Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.

Hartley Mauditt questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Leonard's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Hartley Mauditt?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
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’ll advise.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you come to Hartley Mauditt?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hartley Mauditt. To check your date, use our quote form.
