How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December market in Chattenden loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Why choose Mexican street food in Chattenden?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A plan agreed before the day
