Mexican street food in Small Dole, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.
For a village fête or field event near Small Dole, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Small Dole
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Tottington Wood?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Small Dole?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we’re available.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Agree waste arrangements with traders

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
