Mexican street food for Capel events
Mexican street food for your event in Capel
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. At music and food festivals and sports clubs and race days, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls and more.
For a village fête or field event near Capel, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Comparing your options
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Capel questions
Could you serve in Foal Hurst Wood?

It’s about 29 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What do you need at the pitch?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, it is dark in Capel at around 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
