Mexican street food in Charing Heath, served fresh
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At open-air performances and county and country shows, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
At a field event near Charing Heath, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Crew meals are served at set times.
A vegan filling on every menu.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Christmas markets in Charing Heath 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.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

- Fast service, even with a queue
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
