Questions from Shanklin
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Paul's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station is closest to Shanklin?
Guests can use Shanklin station, which is right in Shanklin.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Day-after wedding get-togethers

- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Tell us when the speeches will be
- Check your date with us early
On the day, we work with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Shanklin is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
