Mexican street food in Barnehurst
Barnehurst: your questions answered
Could you serve in Braeburn 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 will send what they need from us.
Where would you park in Barnehurst?
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, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
About our Mexican street food in Barnehurst
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for seasonal and night markets and fundraisers and fêtes, serving vegan tacos, tacos and burritos.
In Barnehurst, street events mean planning access, closures and where the truck fits. Tell us the pitch details and timings. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. For an evening event in Barnehurst, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
In Barnehurst, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Plan seating near the food area
- Confirm power and water with traders
We set up at the agreed time.
