Mexican street food for your event in Painters Ash
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. For feeding crew and volunteers and community events and open days, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and vegan tacos for your guests.
Events near Painters Ash are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What Mexican street food costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
- The menu you choose
- Travel, parking and access
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.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, your venue or DA11 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Painters Ash questions
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Painters Ash?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Castle Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
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’ll recommend how to serve.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Do you provide drinks?
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 check the licensing with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
