Mexican street food in Halstead, from our food truck or trailer
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, so your team eats well on a long day. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, which works well for community days and open-air performances.
For a village fête or field event near Halstead, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Put all trader information in one pack
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. At midsummer, events in Halstead stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
