Mexican street food in Aylesham, served fresh
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That makes your food line-up easier. At village fêtes and summer fairs and music and food festivals, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos for your guests.
In Aylesham, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Running an event in Aylesham
Aylesham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Aylesham will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Aylesham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
A school such as Aylesham Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Rail travel is an option for visitors, as Aylesham has its own station, Aylesham station. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 7 miles from Aylesham at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it.
We cater events across CT3. Streets in the area include Market Place, Mexborough Square and Derwent Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Aylesham for Mexican street food include Bloodden (1 mile north), Adisham (1 mile north), Womenswold (1 mile south-west), Woolage Green (2 miles south) and Out Elmstead (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (6 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (8 miles south-east), Folkestone (10 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles north-west).
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Aylesham: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Aylesham?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station should guests use for Aylesham?
Guests can use Aylesham station, which is right in Aylesham.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan seating near the food area
- Schedule crew meals
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
We arrive in the agreed set-up window, following your trader pack.

Mexican street food or something else?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A menu built around your guests
- Allergen information for every dish
- Book food, drinks or both
Read our pricing and our guide to catering costs.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Organising a club, school or community event in Aylesham? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
