Mexican street food in Hightown, served fresh
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. It suits hospitality and crew areas and outdoor screenings, with loaded nachos, burritos and tacos.
A fête near Hightown might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How the day works
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 photo of the space helps. Late-September events in Hightown see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Mexican street food or something else?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What else we do in Hightown
How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Common questions in Hightown
Do you cater in villages like Hightown?
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.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, always. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
