Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Mexican street food in Folkington, served fresh
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. At music and food festivals and summer fairs and fêtes, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
A fête near Folkington might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll 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.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Folkington loses the light at about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Common questions in Folkington
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is Folkington close to London?
It is about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you cater in Folkington?
Yes, we do. Folkington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
Orders are served throughout the event.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
