Haylands questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Haylands?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Haylands?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs. We confirm power and water with each booking.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.
