About our Mexican street food in Keycol
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. On the menu are quesadillas, burrito bowls and vegan tacos, which works well for open-air performances and food and music festivals.
For a village fête or field event near Keycol, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Keycol: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Keycol?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How far is Keycol from central London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Summer events in Keycol have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
