Mexican street food in Withdean

Mexican street food in Withdean, from our truck or trailer

A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for music and food festivals and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving quesadillas, burritos and tacos.

Summer fairs around Withdean are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

  • Feed crew and volunteers at set times

Allergen information is available at the hatch, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Late-September events in Withdean see sunset at about 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.

  1. First, we check the dates.
  2. We agree the menu and the pitch.
  3. We send the paperwork your event asks for.
  4. The hatch opens when the event does.
  5. We trade, then pack down.
