Mexican street food for Stede Quarter events
How our Mexican street food works in Stede Quarter
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. At community days and race days and sports events, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
For a village fête or field event near Stede Quarter, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Schedule crew meals
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Check how traders handle peak times
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
Mexican street food or something else?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. For an evening event in Stede Quarter, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- 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.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
