Your questions about Mexican street food in Upton
What’s the nearest station to Upton for guests?
Guests can use Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.1 miles east of Upton.
Do you cater at coastal events near Upton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater in Upton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Upton and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, use our quote form.
What do you need at the pitch?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Upton loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A level pitch on firm ground
Out-of-the-way places like Upton take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
