Mexican street food for your event in Staplestreet
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At outdoor screenings and food markets, we can serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Rural events near Staplestreet can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Staplestreet? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Travel, parking and access
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Staplestreet: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Staplestreet?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you trade at a school fair in Staplestreet?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run 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 will go through the licensing with you.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you cater in Staplestreet?
We do. Staplestreet is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Summer events in Staplestreet have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- 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 clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
