FAQs for Borden
Is Borden close to London?
It is about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Cromers Wood?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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 run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Why choose Mexican street food in Borden?
One trader, several diets, which saves pitches.
Here are some of the events we cater:
- Feeding crew and volunteers
- Fundraisers and fêtes
- Community days
- Village fairs
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Borden Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. By late September, it is dark in Borden at around 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
