Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- How long we are needed on site
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Mexican street food in Upper Swanmore, served fresh
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. It works well for sports club events and summer fairs and fêtes, with loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
At a fête or field event near Upper Swanmore, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Late-September events in Upper Swanmore see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.

Getting ready for the day

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

- Flat, firm ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Upper Swanmore
Do you come to school fairs around Upper Swanmore?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station should guests use for Upper Swanmore?
Guests can use Botley station, about 4.4 miles south-west of Upper Swanmore.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you cater in Upper Swanmore?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Upper Swanmore is within our area. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Menus chosen with you
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
