Mexican street food for your event in Calshot
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. For street food and farmers’ markets and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, vegan tacos and burritos and more.
Rural events near Calshot can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Summer events in Calshot have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day

- Find out what power and water are available

Popular choices
Quesadillas
Crisp quesadillas.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings for sharing.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
