What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Summer events in Penwood have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive

- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Plan seating near the food area
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
How we price Mexican street food
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The length of service
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
