Mexican street food in Istead Rise
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. A December market in Istead Rise loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Common questions in Istead Rise
Could you serve in Jeskyns?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.

Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. 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.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Trader information and site rules
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
