Mexican street food in Cootham, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for street food and farmers’ markets and county and country shows, serving loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.

Cootham: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Cootham?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How far is Cootham from London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
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 plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you cover Cootham?
Yes, we do. Cootham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Plan seating near the food area
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
Why choose Mexican street food in Cootham?
