Tacos
Street tacos with your choice of filling, quick to serve.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December market in Ashey loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Organising a club, school or community event in Ashey? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check allergen information is on display
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Allergen details are on hand for every dish.
Our drinks bar, where the event’s licensing allows.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Where the truck can go in Ashey
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- The event’s site rules and timings
Out-of-the-way places like Ashey take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
How it compares

FAQs for Ashey
Do you cater at coastal events near Ashey?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you come to school fairs around Ashey?
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 plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
