Mexican street food for Houghton events
How our Mexican street food works in Houghton
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. On the menu are vegan tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for race days and sports events and festivals.
Rural events near Houghton can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

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. Our taco bar guide explains how.

The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. A December market in Houghton loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
