About our Mexican street food in Aldington
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. It suits hospitality and crew areas and agricultural and county shows, serving burritos, quesadillas and vegan tacos.
A fête near Aldington might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Christmas markets in Aldington trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Book crew catering in advance
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Orders are served throughout the event.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.

Aldington: your questions answered
Is Aldington close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We will check the licensing with you.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
