How our Mexican street food works in Wickham Common
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for outdoor screenings and street food and farmers’ markets, serving burritos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
For a village fête or field event near Wickham Common, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Where the truck can go in Wickham Common
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Trader information and site rules
- Flat, firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. By late September, it is dark in Wickham Common at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

What Mexican street food costs
