Mexican street food in South Hayling
Mexican street food in South Hayling, from our food truck or trailer
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. For county and country shows and race days and sports events, we can serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas for your guests.
In South Hayling, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Summer events in South Hayling have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water

With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

For planners, venues and organisers
