Walthamstow questions
Which station is closest to Walthamstow?
Guests can use Walthamstow Central station, which is right in Walthamstow.
Can you trade at a school fair in Walthamstow?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we’ll go from there.

Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Send your requirements and we will respond with our documents.
Is the food very hot?
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.
How many guests can you serve?
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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
