Mexican street food for your event in Rownhams
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At county and country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and tacos for your guests.
Summer fairs around Rownhams are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Rownhams questions
Which station should guests use for Rownhams?
The closest is Redbridge station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you come to school fairs around Rownhams?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
Do you have vegan options?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we’ll respond with our documents.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.

Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Summer events in Rownhams 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. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How it compares
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
