How our Mexican street food works in Charvil
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. For county and country shows and school fairs and fundraisers, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Summer fairs around Charvil are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, tacos and burritos deliver. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Quoted for your event
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options

At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.

How we price Mexican street food
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

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 get on with serving. Summer events in Charvil have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
