Running an event in Badger Farm
Badger Farm is about 1 mile south-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. From the centre of Badger Farm to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 683 places across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Badger Farm to Southampton (about 9 miles away).
For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Winchester station, about 1.5 miles north-east. A fundraiser for a church like Saint Luke might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
How we price Mexican street food
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Summer events in Badger Farm have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Questions from Badger Farm
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Badger Farm?
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.
Which station is closest to Badger Farm?
Guests can use Winchester station, about 1.5 miles north-east of Badger Farm.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How it compares
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
