Planning an event in The Stocks?
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Trader information and site rules
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
How our Mexican street food works in The Stocks
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. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and village fairs, with burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
Rural events near The Stocks 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.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. Our fillings are ready to go, so orders are quick. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A menu built around your guests
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Book food, drinks or both
