About our Mexican street food in Monk's Gate
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. It works well for food and music festivals and school and charity events, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
A fête near Monk's Gate might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Summer events in Monk's Gate have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

For planners, venues and organisers

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Mexican street food or something else?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
