Mexican street food in Shelvin, from our truck or trailer
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. For feeding crew and volunteers and food and music festivals, we will put together a menu of tacos, vegan tacos and burritos.
Near Shelvin, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time.

Mexican street food or something else?

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
