A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

Mexican street food in Whitley, from our food truck or trailer
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. It works well for community events and open days and open-air performances, with burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos.
Around Whitley, a fête or summer fair suits a food truck. Send us the pitch and access details. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Other catering in Whitley
Whitley: your questions answered
Is Whitley close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you trade at a school fair in Whitley?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Book crew catering in advance
- Share power and water details early
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.
Our drinks bar, where the event’s licensing allows.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in Whitley see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us when you want service to start

- The menu you choose
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
