Mexican street food in Oakhanger, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It suits food and music festivals and race days and sports events, with loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Rural events near Oakhanger can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Summer events in Oakhanger have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm 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.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Oakhanger events: pitches and permissions
Oakhanger is about 4 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. We bring Mexican street food to homes, gardens and venues in Oakhanger and nearby villages. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Oakhanger to Basingstoke (about 13 miles away).
A fundraiser for a church like St Mary Magdalene's Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Mill Chase Academy, a busy corner. Organisers near the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Oakhanger, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.
We cover events in every part of GU35.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
To get a price, just fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Oakhanger, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
How it compares
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, tacos and burritos deliver. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
