Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Tell us how many children are coming
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Guests leaving a church like Church of St Peter after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Thinking of an event in Penton Park? Public parks normally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
We cover events in every part of the TW18, TW20 and TW19 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Goring's Square and London Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
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 tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Staines-upon-Thames questions
Which station should guests use for Staines-upon-Thames?
Guests can use Staines station, which is right in Staines-upon-Thames.
Could you serve in Penton Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
