Mexican street food in Alton
How our Mexican street food works in Alton
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. It suits food markets and music and food festivals, with loaded nachos, tacos and burritos.
In Alton, fêtes and school fairs suit a Mexican street-food truck: it draws a crowd and serves quickly. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
