Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Questions from Carterton
How far is Carterton from central London?
It’s about 67 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you trade at a school fair in Carterton?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Why choose Mexican street food in Carterton?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
Allergen information is available at the hatch.

Where the truck can go in Carterton
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:

- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
