Your questions about Mexican street food in Chipstead
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Fames Rough?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What about parking in Chipstead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Christmas markets in Chipstead trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How we price Mexican street food
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
