How our Mexican street food works in Maypole
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for agricultural and county shows and food and music festivals, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos.
In Maypole, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once the road closure or site permission is in place. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Late-September events in Maypole see sunset at about 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Event catering near Maypole
Maypole is about 3 miles south-east of Orpington, in Greater London. Wherever your event is in the BR6 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 14 miles away.
If your event is in Hewitt's Chalk Bank, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we will supply what they need from us. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Mission Chapel, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Maypole, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
Here we cover the BR6 postcode area. We can cater an event on streets such as Jubilee Road, Hollybush Lane and Maypole Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bopeep (1 mile south), Well Hill (1 mile east), Chelsfield (1 mile north-west), Badgers Mount (1 mile south) and Goddington (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in London (14 miles north-west), Shoreditch (15 miles north-west), Whitechapel (14 miles north-west), Stockwell (14 miles north-west), Orpington (3 miles north-west) and Plaistow (13 miles north-west).

- Nearby schools include Harris Academy Orpington (1.8 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Bo-Peep pub (less than half a mile south)
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- A level pitch on firm ground
In Maypole, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Maypole
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Maypole?
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.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Maypole?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Provide seating near the food
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Share vehicle access times with traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
Nachos for groups.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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’ll do the serving.
