Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Preston
How far is Preston from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What do you need at the pitch?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Evening events in Preston have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
