Mexican street food in Chitty, served fresh
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. At seasonal and night markets and race days and sports events, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, tacos and burritos for your guests.
At a fête or field event near Chitty, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Summer events in Chitty have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Questions from Chitty
How far is Chitty from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you come out to small places like Chitty?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

What Mexican street food costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
