Your questions about Mexican street food in Lower Caversham
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Eldon Square?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Lower Caversham from central London?
It is about 37 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Where the truck can go in Lower Caversham
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Summer events in Lower Caversham have daylight until about 9:25pm 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.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us your final numbers and diets
