Mexican street food in Upstreet, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for crew and volunteer catering and race days and sports events, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
At a fête or field event near Upstreet, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Summer events in Upstreet have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
