How our Mexican street food works in Stockwell
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and vegan tacos, which works well for summer fairs and fêtes and feeding crew and volunteers.
London street parties and fairs in Stockwell need careful planning around road closures, access and pitch size. Tell us the pitch details and timings. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Late-September events in Stockwell see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.

- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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 will do the serving.
