Mexican street food for Waltham Chase events
Mexican street food for your event in Waltham Chase
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and county and country shows, serving tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
Near Waltham Chase, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options

Questions from Waltham Chase
Which station is closest to Waltham Chase?
Botley station, about 2.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Waltham Chase?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer 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 go through the licensing with you.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
