How our Mexican street food works in Cowplain
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, and it is a good fit for outdoor screenings and festivals.
Summer fairs around Cowplain are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. For an evening event in Cowplain, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
