FAQs for Cliftonville
Could you come to a seaside event near Cliftonville?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you come to school fairs around Cliftonville?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Put all trader information in one pack
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.
A vegan filling on every menu.
