About our Mexican street food in Hillstreet
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for race days and sports events and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Rural events near Hillstreet can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Common questions in Hillstreet
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.
Do you come out to small places like Hillstreet?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Catering for every guest

- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.

- Trader information and site rules
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December market in Hillstreet loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:25pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
