How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. By late September, it’s dark in Drayton at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Your questions about Mexican street food in Drayton
What’s the nearest station to Drayton for guests?
The closest is Cosham station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you cater at coastal events near Drayton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
