Mexican street food in Shalfleet, from our food truck or trailer
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for food markets and community events and open days, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos.
For a village fête or field event near Shalfleet, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What Mexican street food costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Guest numbers
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How long we are needed on site
- Serving staff
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
Shalfleet is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
