Mexican street food for Pennington events
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Mexican street food for your event in Pennington
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. We serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for race days and sports events and country shows.
Events near Pennington are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Pennington have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.

Lymington Town station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre.
