Mexican street food in Detling, served fresh
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At school fairs and fundraisers and sports club events, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos.
A fête near Detling might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Detling at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
