Mexican street food for Magham Down events
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Christmas markets in Magham Down trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.

How our Mexican street food works in Magham Down
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve tacos, quesadillas and vegan tacos, and it suits village fairs and fundraisers and fêtes.
At a field event near Magham Down, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

FAQs for Magham Down
Will you travel to a small place like Magham Down?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Magham Down?
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.

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Can vegans eat at your stall?

We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
Do you come to Magham Down?
Yes, we do. Magham Down is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How it compares
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
