Mexican street food in Mapledurwell, served fresh
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. For school and charity events and open days and community events, we will put together a menu of burritos, vegan tacos and tacos and more.
Near Mapledurwell, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
What Mexican street food costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

Common questions in Mapledurwell
What’s the nearest station to Mapledurwell for guests?
Hook station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Mapledurwell close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
