Mexican street food near Lower Upham
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How our Mexican street food works in Lower Upham
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It works well for fundraisers and fêtes and village fairs, serving vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
At a fête or field event near Lower Upham, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
