Mexican street food in Elsted
Mexican street food in Elsted, from our food truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. For school and charity events and open days and community events, we can serve quesadillas, burritos and burrito bowls and more.
At a field event near Elsted, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Elsted: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Elsted?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How far is Elsted from central London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How much space 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.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Trader information and site rules
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. At midsummer, events in Elsted stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day

- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
