Mexican street food for Fairlands events
Mexican street food in Fairlands, from our food truck or trailer
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and burritos, which works well for village fairs and seasonal and night markets.
Rural events near Fairlands can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Common questions in Fairlands
Can you trade at a school fair in Fairlands?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
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.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send the paperwork your event asks for.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
Allergen information is available at the hatch.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Summer events in Fairlands have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
