How our Mexican street food works in Crofton
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. At street food and farmers’ markets and fundraisers and fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, tacos and loaded nachos and more.
Events in Crofton range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals.

FAQs for Crofton
Is parking a problem for events in Crofton?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Which station should guests use for Crofton?
Guests can use Orpington station, which is right in Crofton.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
In Crofton, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
