Mexican street food for your event in Townsend
Crew and volunteer meals are timed to suit you, so your team eats well on a long day. At hospitality and crew areas and agricultural and county shows, we can serve vegan tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls for your guests.
Rural events near Townsend can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Townsend
How far is Townsend from London?
It is about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Townsend?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Book crew catering in advance
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Late-September events in Townsend see sunset at about 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
