Questions from Mildmay
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Mildmay?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
London streets around Mildmay can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December market in Mildmay loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
