How our Mexican street food works in Southover
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. At race days and sports events and food markets, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
In Southover, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Southover
How far is Southover from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve in Railway Land?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it’s dark in Southover at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
