Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us what other food is being served
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Chandler's Ford: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Chandler's Ford?
Guests can use Chandlers Ford station, which is right in Chandler's Ford.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Boniface?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
