Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we’re serving
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Battersea events: pitches and permissions

FAQs for Battersea
Is parking a problem for events in Battersea?
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.
Can you trade at a school fair in Battersea?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using 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.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t 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.
How spicy is the food?
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 made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A December market in Battersea loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
