Common questions in Donnington
Which station is closest to Donnington?
Newbury station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Donnington?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Share your trader requirements and we’ll respond.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Mexican street food in Donnington, from our food truck or trailer
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it suits fundraisers and fêtes and country shows.
Rural events near Donnington can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

What Mexican street food costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
