Mexican street food for East Dean events
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How our Mexican street food works in East Dean
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for village fairs and community events and open days, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
