Your questions about Mexican street food in Highfield
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Highfield?
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 cater at coastal events near Highfield?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
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.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we will confirm availability and requirements.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- The event’s site rules and timings
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A December market in Highfield loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Serving staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
