Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Taco catering in Purley on Thames: local tips
Purley on Thames is about 3 miles west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in RG8, we can serve your guests. We cater in 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Purley CofE Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Before you pencil in Round Copse, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.

Before you choose a spot

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Winter evenings in Purley on Thames close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
