What affects the price in Kennington
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
About our Mexican street food in Kennington
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. Popular choices include loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burritos, and it suits village fêtes and summer fairs and hospitality and crew areas.
In Kennington, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once the road closure or site permission is in place. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Kennington: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for events in Kennington?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you trade at a school fair in Kennington?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Kennington.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
On the day, we work with your site team.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Summer events in Kennington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
