Mexican street food for your event in Newport
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. At county and country shows and community days, we can serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Community events in Newport often rely on a few good food traders. Tacos, burritos and nachos cover meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans from one pitch. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Events we cater in Newport
It is food people already know and want, so the stall trades steadily.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Music and food festivals
- Outdoor screenings
- Food markets
- Sports clubs and race days
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Nine Acres Primary School, a busy corner.
Questions to ask before booking
- How each diet is kept separate
- A clear list of what’s included
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- Who provides plates and napkins
Where the truck can go in Newport
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
Newport is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Give traders a single information pack
Our pitch is kept tidy.

Common questions in Newport
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Newport?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Could you serve in Seaclose Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Evening events in Newport have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

How we price Mexican street food
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu you choose
- Guest numbers
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Whether you need disposables
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
