Your questions about Mexican street food in Monkton
How far is Monkton from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Monkton?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does Mexican street food cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we’ll go from there.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Give traders a single information pack
Orders are served throughout the event.
