Mexican street food in Lashenden, from our truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That makes your food line-up easier. For seasonal and night markets and sports club events, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Rural events near Lashenden can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, events in Lashenden stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
