About our Mexican street food in Afton
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events in and around Afton. It works well for hospitality and crew areas and agricultural and county shows, with quesadillas, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Rural events near Afton can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. For an evening event in Afton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- 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.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
