FAQs for Sparsholt
Do you come to events in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cater in villages like Sparsholt?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How our Mexican street food works in Sparsholt
The menu is agreed with organisers, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. At community days and seasonal and night markets, we can serve tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
At a field event near Sparsholt, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Before you choose a spot

- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A level pitch on firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
