Mexican street food in Hamstreet, from our food truck or trailer
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include burrito bowls, vegan tacos and tacos, which works well for school and charity events and summer fairs and fêtes.
Rural events near Hamstreet can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Share vehicle access times with traders
- Confirm power and water with traders
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
