Mexican street food in Crockenhill, from our truck or trailer
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. For hospitality and crew areas and seasonal and night markets, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos and more.
Near Crockenhill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- How many guests we are serving
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Share power and water details early
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Share vehicle access times with traders
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Evening events in Crockenhill have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
