Mexican street food in Heathfield
Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Christmas markets in Heathfield trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Share the running order, including any speeches

How our Mexican street food works in Heathfield
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. We serve burritos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for county and country shows and festivals.
Events near Heathfield are often volunteer-run, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Comparing your options
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we offer in Heathfield
- A menu built around your guests
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

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.

Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
