Your questions about Mexican street food in Ruckinge
Will you travel to a small place like Ruckinge?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How far is Ruckinge from central London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For event organisers in Ruckinge
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Provide seating near the food
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
What’s on the menu
Vegan tacos
A real choice for vegans.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese.
Comparing your options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Service planned around your numbers
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A clear quote
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A December market in Ruckinge loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
