Common questions in Farlington
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Farlington?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Could you come to a seaside event near Farlington?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We will talk licensing through with you.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Mexican street food for your event in Farlington
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for music and food festivals and school fairs and fundraisers.
For events in a place like Farlington, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Late-September events in Farlington see sunset at about 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
