The process
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. At midsummer, events in South Darenth stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?

Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Should I do it myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
