Mexican street food in Shellwood Cross, served fresh

At a field event near Shellwood Cross, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Common questions in Shellwood Cross
Will you travel to a small place like Shellwood Cross?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you bring margaritas?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall

- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Tacos add something different to a food line-up. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Planning the serving area

- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Flat, firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
