About our Mexican street food in The Frenches
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. We serve loaded nachos, burritos and tacos, and it’s a good fit for sports club events and hospitality and crew areas.
Rural events near The Frenches can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Evening events in The Frenches have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
