Mexican street food in Five Wents, served fresh
We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. It suits festivals and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving burritos, tacos and burrito bowls.
At a fête or field event near Five Wents, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How we price Mexican street food
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
- How we drive in and where we can park
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December market in Five Wents loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.

- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Perfect for your event in Five Wents
A taco truck brings people into the food area and serves them quickly.
