About our Mexican street food in Shepherd's Green
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. Popular choices include vegan tacos, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for fundraisers and fêtes and feeding crew and volunteers.
At a fête or field event near Shepherd's Green, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Summer events in Shepherd's Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. 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.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
