Mexican street food in Newnham, served fresh
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. At outdoor cinema and theatre nights and fundraisers and fêtes, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and burritos for your guests.
For a village fête or field event near Newnham, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Summer events in Newnham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
