Mexican street food for your event in Colthrop
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At sports club events and food and music festivals, we can serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
Rural events near Colthrop can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up

How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Colthrop stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
