Mexican street food for Sandway events
Mexican street food for your event in Sandway
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for fundraisers and fêtes and outdoor cinema and theatre nights, with vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
A fête near Sandway might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Sandway questions

It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Sandway?

Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.

Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
