Barkham questions
What’s the nearest station to Barkham for guests?
Guests can use Wokingham station, about 1.9 miles north-east of Barkham.
Could you serve in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. For an evening event in Barkham, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
