Mexican street food in Ifield, from our truck or trailer
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan stock and service. It works well for sports club events and hospitality and crew areas, serving tacos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
For events in a place like Ifield, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

What we need at the venue

- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What Mexican street food costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Food, drinks or both
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, 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. Summer events in Ifield have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
