Mexican street food for your event in The Hangers
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That makes your food line-up easier. It suits race days and sports events and county and country shows, with quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls.
Near The Hangers, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. By late September, it’s dark in The Hangers at around 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- 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.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
