The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, events in Sandford stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Your questions about Mexican street food in Sandford
Which station should guests use for Sandford?
Shanklin station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Sandford?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What power and water the site has
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
Sandford is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
