- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements

Your questions about Mexican street food in Newtown
Do you come out to small places like Newtown?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Newtown?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
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.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.

Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, events in Newtown stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
