Book Mexican street food in Purley on Thames
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. A December market in Purley on Thames loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- 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 pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water

Purley on Thames: your questions answered
How far is Purley on Thames from London?
It’s about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Round Copse?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What do you need at the pitch?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
