Mexican street food in Thornton Heath, from our truck or trailer
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. We serve tacos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, which works well for sports clubs and race days and outdoor screenings.
In Thornton Heath, a taco truck suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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’ll do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
As a London location, Thornton Heath is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Late-September events in Thornton Heath see sunset at about 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
