About our Mexican street food in Southwater
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for country shows and festivals.
Summer fairs around Southwater are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Planning for every diet

- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Provide seating near the food
Our pitch is kept tidy throughout the day.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening events in Southwater have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
