Mexican street food for Benenden events
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Mexican street food in Benenden, from our food truck or trailer

Your questions about Mexican street food in Benenden
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Will you travel to a small place like Benenden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send the paperwork your event asks for.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Share power and water details early
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.
