Mexican street food in Rooksdown
How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event

About our Mexican street food in Rooksdown
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas, which works well for crew and volunteer catering and street food and farmers’ markets.
In Rooksdown, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

FAQs for Rooksdown
What’s the nearest station to Rooksdown for guests?
The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
How far is Rooksdown from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Send your requirements and we’ll respond with our documents.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Comparing your options
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. 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.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. By late September, it is dark in Rooksdown at around 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
