Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Norwood Junction station, about 0.7 miles north-west. If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Ashburton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Ashburton questions
Is parking a problem for events in Ashburton?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Could you serve in Ashburton Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you come to Ashburton?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Ashburton and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
