Mexican street food in Shipton Bellinger, served fresh
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. For hospitality and crew areas and food markets, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, loaded nachos and tacos for your guests.
At a fête or field event near Shipton Bellinger, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December market in Shipton Bellinger loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start

Shipton Bellinger questions
Which station is closest to Shipton Bellinger?
Grateley station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come to school fairs around Shipton Bellinger?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What does Mexican street food cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
Mexican street food or something else?
Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
