How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Summer events in Birchington have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

About our Mexican street food in Birchington
A taco stall covers many diets at once: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for street food and farmers’ markets and summer fairs and fêtes, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
Summer fairs around Birchington are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
