Mexican street food for your event in Hogben's Hill

At a fête or field event near Hogben's Hill, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Hogben's Hill loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
