Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, so your team eats well on a long day. For fundraisers and fêtes and community events and open days, we will put together a menu of tacos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos and more.
A fête near Downton might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Summer events in Downton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive

Your questions about Mexican street food in Downton
Could you come to a seaside event near Downton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will you travel to a small place like Downton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Share your trader requirements and we’ll respond.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Do you come to Downton?
Yes, we do. Downton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
