Crabtree questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Leonardslee?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to school fairs around Crabtree?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How we price Mexican street food
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December market in Crabtree loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
