Mexican street food in Botley, served fresh
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. It works well for sports club events and community events and open days, serving vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos.
In Botley, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Summer events in Botley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
