Alkham is about 3 miles west of Dover, in Kent. For Mexican street food in Alkham, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day.

For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Kearsney station, about 2.3 miles north-east. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Alkham, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 5 miles of Alkham, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Christmas markets in Alkham trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
