Mexican street food in Compton, from our truck or trailer

At a fête or field event near Compton, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Questions from Compton
Do you come out to small places like Compton?
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.
How far is Compton from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Will there be long queues?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Share vehicle access times with traders
We set up at the agreed time.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
