How our Mexican street food works in Woodmansterne
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. It works well for fundraisers and fêtes and open-air performances, with loaded nachos, vegan tacos and tacos.
Events near Woodmansterne are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Plan seating near the food area
We arrive in the agreed set-up window, following your trader pack.
Vegan tacos alongside the rest.
