Mexican street food near Chilbolton
Step by step
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. A December market in Chilbolton loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
For event organisers in Chilbolton
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Trader information and site rules
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
