Mexican street food in Brenchley
Mexican street food in Brenchley, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At summer fairs and fêtes and feeding crew and volunteers, we can serve tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas and more.
Near Brenchley, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Common questions in Brenchley
Which station is closest to Brenchley?
Guests can use Paddock Wood station, about 2.2 miles north of Brenchley.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Foal Hurst Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. For an evening event in Brenchley, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
