How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Late-September events in The Valley see sunset at about 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

The Valley questions
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is The Valley close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much does Mexican street food cost in The Valley?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How it compares
Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
