DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Upminster
Could you serve in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Where would you park in Upminster?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Some streets may need a parking suspension from the council, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where the truck can go in Upminster
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
In Upminster, 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Summer events in Upminster have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
