Mexican street food in Great Shefford, 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 are served quickly from the hatch. It suits county and country shows and open-air performances, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos.
A fête near Great Shefford might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December market in Great Shefford loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has
