Mexican street food in Ashlett, from our truck or trailer
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. At county and country shows and open-air performances, we can serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos and more.
Rural events near Ashlett can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit.

- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
