Your questions about Mexican street food in Newington
Do you come to school fairs around Newington?
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 is Newington from central London?
It is about 65 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
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. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Newington.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- How long we are needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- Serving staff
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Put picnic tables near the traders
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Loaded nachos for sharing.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
