About our Mexican street food in Shirrell Heath
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. We serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it suits festivals and school and charity events.
Near Shirrell Heath, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Shirrell Heath
Can you trade at a school fair in Shirrell Heath?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Will you travel to a small place like Shirrell Heath?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater in Shirrell Heath?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Shirrell Heath is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Which areas do you serve?

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Summer events in Shirrell Heath have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
