Mexican street food or something else?
Burger stalls are common. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Where the truck can go in Hawkenbury
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Flat, firm ground
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Questions from Hawkenbury
Is Hawkenbury close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you serve in Dunorlan Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How quickly can you serve?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we’ll go from there.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. We confirm power and water with each booking.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. 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 will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
