Mexican street food in Pootings
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need disposables
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.

FAQs for Pootings
Will you travel to a small place like Pootings?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is Pootings close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Orders are served throughout the event.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Christmas markets in Pootings trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
