Staplecross questions
How far is Staplecross from London?
It’s about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in villages like Staplecross?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your list, and we’ll send what you ask for.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Comparing your options
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Occasions we cater for in Staplecross
It copes with lunchtime rushes, because fillings are cooked ahead.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Hospitality and crew areas
- Country shows
- Music and food festivals
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St Marks Staplecross could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac.

How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, it’s dark in Staplecross at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
