DIY taco night or a caterer?

Southborough: your questions answered
Is Southborough close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve in Barnett's Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you bring margaritas?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
What does Mexican street food cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December market in Southborough loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
