Mexican street food near Heckfield
Mexican street food for your event in Heckfield
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. At food markets and food and music festivals, we can serve tacos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
Rural events near Heckfield can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A December market in Heckfield loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Common questions in Heckfield
Will you travel to a small place like Heckfield?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you trade at a school fair in Heckfield?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
