Mexican street food for Upper Farringdon events
Mexican street food in Upper Farringdon, served fresh
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. At sports clubs and race days and summer fairs and fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of vegan tacos, burritos and loaded nachos and more.
Rural events near Upper Farringdon can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
A vegan filling on every menu.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Summer events in Upper Farringdon have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Upper Farringdon
- Loaded nachos
- Vegan options
- Tacos
- Burritos

- Burrito bowls
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
