Planning an event in Russell Hill?
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At food and music festivals and sports club events, we can serve tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos and more.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Late-September events in Russell Hill see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- A level pitch on firm ground
As a London location, Russell Hill is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
