Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Give traders a single information pack
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
On the day, we work with your site team.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Evening events in Salford have light until about 9:30pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
FAQs for Salford
