Mexican street food in South Malling, served fresh

For events in a place like South Malling, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Your questions about Mexican street food in South Malling
Can you trade at a school fair in South Malling?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Send us your list and we’ll respond.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you need power?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
