About our Mexican street food in Smarden Bell
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. It suits fundraisers and fêtes and open days and community events, serving tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
At a fête or field event near Smarden Bell, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Summer events in Smarden Bell have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
