About our Mexican street food in Durford Wood
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, keeping your team going. For country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos for your guests.
Rural events near Durford Wood can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Late-September events in Durford Wood see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- 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.
Before we arrive

- Give us a contact for the day
