About our Mexican street food in Southernden
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. It works well for school and charity events and summer fairs and fêtes, serving tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
A fête near Southernden might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Share power and water details early
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Orders are served throughout the event.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- What power and water the site has
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Southernden stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
