Mexican street food in Dargate, served fresh
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events. Popular choices include tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, which works well for food markets and festivals.
Rural events near Dargate can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Share power and water details early
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
Orders are served throughout the event.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.

- How each diet is kept separate
- The wet-weather plan
- Whether VAT is included
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Evening events in Dargate have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare

Questions from Dargate
Which station should guests use for Dargate?
Selling station, about 3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cater at coastal events near Dargate?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
- Your menu ideas
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
