Mexican street food for your event in Fordcombe
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. Popular choices include tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits seasonal and night markets and sports club events.
Rural events near Fordcombe can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Summer events in Fordcombe have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
