If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Hartlip Endowed Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Hartlip
Which station should guests use for Hartlip?
The closest is Newington station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is it possible to have you in Foxburrow Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send the paperwork your event asks for.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you come to Hartlip?
We do. Hartlip is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Provide seating near the food
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
Allergen information is available at the hatch, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
A vegan filling on every menu.
Popular choices
Vegan tacos
Vegan fillings with salsa and toppings.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Mexican street food or something else?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
