Mexican street food in Buckland, served fresh
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and sports clubs and race days, serving burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
Near Buckland, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Christmas markets in Buckland trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
