How our Mexican street food works in Bidden
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it suits food and music festivals and country shows.
Near Bidden, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
