DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Upper Clapton
Can you trade at a school fair in Upper Clapton?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

The closest is Clapton station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Your trader pack and site rules
In Upper Clapton, 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 before booking.
