What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, events in Carshalton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day

How we price Mexican street food
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clear information on power, water and waste
Carshalton is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Common questions in Carshalton
Do you come to school fairs around Carshalton?
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 bring your truck or trailer to Carshalton 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.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
