Mexican street food near Sydenham Hill
Sydenham Hill: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Sydenham Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is it possible to have you in Long Meadow?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. A December market in Sydenham Hill loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Where the truck can go in Sydenham Hill
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Trader information and site rules
In Sydenham Hill, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
