Questions from West Ashling
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in West Ashling?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is West Ashling close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

We cater right across the region, from West Ashling to Southampton (24 miles away).

What Mexican street food costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
