Mexican street food for your event in Cooksbridge
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. It works well for village fêtes and summer fairs and music and food festivals, serving vegan tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.

What affects the price in Cooksbridge
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your date and when you want service to start
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just tell us about it on our contact page.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Summer events in Cooksbridge have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
