Mexican street food for your event in Ash Vale
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. We serve burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and county and country shows.
Summer fairs around Ash Vale are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Where the truck can go in Ash Vale
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Ash Vale: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Ash Vale?
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ramillies Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Provide seating near the food
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. For an evening event in Ash Vale, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches
