Mexican street food in Whippingham, served fresh
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, which works well for feeding crew and volunteers and food markets.
Rural events near Whippingham can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

FAQs for Whippingham
Can you trade at a school fair in Whippingham?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Which station is closest to Whippingham?
The closest is Ryde Pier Head station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Whippingham.
Are plates and napkins included?

Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Whippingham loses the light at about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us your final numbers and diets
