Your questions about Mexican street food in Goodnestone
Which station should guests use for Goodnestone?
Adisham station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
Is Goodnestone close to London?
It is about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What the venue already provides
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Christmas markets in Goodnestone trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Share vehicle access times with traders
We arrive in the agreed set-up window, following your trader pack.
Nachos for groups.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Why choose Mexican street food in Goodnestone?
Crew appreciate a hot meal on a long day.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Sports clubs and race days
- Outdoor cinema and theatre nights

Comparing your options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
