Common questions in Aldborough Hatch
Do you come to school fairs around Aldborough Hatch?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What about parking in Aldborough Hatch?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Christmas markets in Aldborough Hatch trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
