How our Mexican street food works in Halnaker
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. For country shows and school and charity events, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, tacos and burritos and more.
Rural events near Halnaker can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Christmas markets in Halnaker trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.

Common questions in Halnaker
Do you cater in villages like Halnaker?
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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Halnaker?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
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. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Mexican street food or something else?
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Occasions we cater for in Halnaker
Organisers book Mexican street food because it draws people into the food area.
