How our Mexican street food works in Bockhanger
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. At sports clubs and race days and street food and farmers’ markets, we can serve tacos, quesadillas and vegan tacos and more.
Events near Bockhanger are often volunteer-run, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Christmas markets in Bockhanger trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
