How our Mexican street food works in Abbey Gate
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. It works well for sports clubs and race days and country shows, serving loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Rural events near Abbey Gate can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Late-September events in Abbey Gate see sunset at about 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
