Mexican street food for your event in Lower Farringdon
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move, which suits festival crowds. It suits open-air performances and fundraisers and fêtes, with quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
A fête near Lower Farringdon might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- 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.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check allergen information is on display
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Book crew catering in advance
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
