Mexican street food in Freshwater
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Summer events in Freshwater have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- 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
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Common questions in Freshwater
Do you cater at coastal events near Freshwater?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you trade at a school fair in Freshwater?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Check allergen information is on display
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
Crisp chips loaded up for sharing.
Vegan tacos
Fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans.
