Mexican street food for Grain events
How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, events in Grain stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

About our Mexican street food in Grain
We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. It works well for community events and open days and open-air performances, with burritos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
A fête near Grain might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Grain questions
How far is Grain from London?
It’s about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station should guests use for Grain?
Guests can use Sheerness-On-Sea station, about 2.1 miles south-east of Grain.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. Find your area.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
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’ll follow them.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Street tacos suit a festival crowd.
Vegan tacos
Vegan fillings with salsa and toppings.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Send traders one clear trader pack
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
A vegan filling on every menu.
Comparing your options
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Book food, drinks or both
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen information for every dish
