About our Mexican street food in Petersham
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, which works well for race days and sports events and feeding crew and volunteers.
In Petersham, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
What’s on the menu
Vegan tacos
Fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans.
Burrito bowls
Easy to eat with a fork on the grass.
Where the truck can go in Petersham
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
In Petersham, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan seating near the food area
- Share vehicle access times with traders
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
What affects the price in Petersham
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Petersham see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
