Questions from Hipley
How far is Hipley from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Hipley?
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 taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally 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.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
