Mexican street food for your event in Sandwich
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, keeping your team going. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for sports clubs and race days and food and music festivals.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Sandwich can be a good fit for a taco truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, it’s dark in Sandwich at around 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Street tacos with your choice of filling, quick to serve.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- The event’s site rules and timings
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu ideas
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Sandwich questions
Which station is closest to Sandwich?
Sandwich station, in Sandwich itself.
Can you serve near the sea around Sandwich?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you come to Sandwich?
We do. Sandwich is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you have vegan options?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Share power and water details early
- Book crew catering in advance
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
Comparing your options
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
