How our Mexican street food works in Shackleford
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At community days and race days and sports events, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and vegan tacos and more.
Rural events near Shackleford can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Summer events in Shackleford have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Shackleford: your questions answered
How far is Shackleford from London?
It is about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you trade at a school fair in Shackleford?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Trader information and site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check allergen information is on display
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
