Mexican street food near Lightwater
How our Mexican street food works in Lightwater
The menu is agreed with organisers, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. At school fairs and fundraisers and crew and volunteer catering, we can serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and quesadillas and more.
Summer fairs around Lightwater are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Questions from Lightwater
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Lightwater?
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.
Which station should guests use for Lightwater?
Bagshot station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Lightwater?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.

The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Summer events in Lightwater have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- 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.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote.
