What Mexican street food costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- Guest numbers
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans

Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Hale Common loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.

FAQs for Hale Common
Could you come to a seaside event near Hale Common?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you come out to small places like Hale Common?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we’ll plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we’ll go from there.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
