Mexican street food for your event in Ashbank
We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for village fairs and outdoor screenings, serving quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
At a fête or field event near Ashbank, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
The menu, item by item
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, filling and toppings in a bowl.
Loaded nachos
Sharing nachos go down well.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
