Questions from River
Do you come out to small places like River?
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.
How far is River from central London?
It’s about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally 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.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in River stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Mexican street food or something else?
