Dietary needs and planning tips

- Put all trader information in one pack
Orders are served throughout the event.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. At midsummer, events in Swallowfield stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Swallowfield: your questions answered
How far is Swallowfield from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you serve in Swallowfield Meadow?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you come to Swallowfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Swallowfield and the rest of West Berkshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
