Which station should guests use for Claygate?

Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Mexican street food in Claygate, served fresh
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. At open days and community events and school fairs and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burritos and vegan tacos and more.
In Claygate, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving.

- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Nachos for groups.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
