Mexican street food in Bridge, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for agricultural and county shows and open-air performances, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
Near Bridge, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Evening events in Bridge have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Common questions in Bridge
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Bridge from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we are available.
Mexican street food or something else?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why us?
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- A clear quote

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
Orders are served throughout the event.
Loaded nachos for sharing.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Burritos
A big tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings.
Tacos
Tacos are made for eating on the move.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running an event in Bridge

For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Peter, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Bekesbourne station, about 1.2 miles north-east. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Bridge, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.
