Mexican street food in Chalvey
How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Chalvey stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water

Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Chalvey
What’s the nearest station to Chalvey for guests?
Guests can use Slough station, about 0.9 miles north-east of Chalvey.
Is it possible to have you in Herschel 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.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Slough included. See all areas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.

Questions to ask before booking
- Travel and parking costs
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- The venue requirements
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
