Mexican street food in Gravel Castle
About our Mexican street food in Gravel Castle
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. We serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, which works well for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and agricultural and county shows.
A fête near Gravel Castle might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
