Questions from Lyford
Do you come out to small places like Lyford?

Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.

Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What Mexican street food costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Food, drinks or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Provide seating near the food
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Allergen information is available at the hatch, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planners, venues and businesses
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’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Mexican street food or something else?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
