How our Mexican street food works in Meads
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. It suits agricultural and county shows and village fairs, serving quesadillas, loaded nachos and tacos.
For events in a place like Meads, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it is dark in Meads at around 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.

- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.

Common questions in Meads
How far is Meads from central London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you come to a seaside event near Meads?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
What do you need at the pitch?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.

Organisers looking at Gildrege Park as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles.
