Can you trade at a school fair in Shippon?
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.
Could you serve in Albert Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need. We confirm power and water with each booking.
Can you bring margaritas?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Summer events in Shippon have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
