Questions from Spring Vale
Will you travel to a small place like Spring Vale?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you serve near the sea around Spring Vale?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we’ll respond with our documents.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.

- A level pitch on firm ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Schedule crew meals
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Spring Vale see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
