Planning an event in Denton?
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. For an evening event in Denton, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or BN9 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.

FAQs for Denton
How far is Denton from London?
It’s about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater at coastal events near Denton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
How quickly can you serve?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
