Mexican street food in Tangmere
Mexican street food in Tangmere, served fresh
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for community days and fundraisers and fêtes, serving burritos, burrito bowls and tacos.
Summer fairs around Tangmere are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Tangmere loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
