How our Mexican street food works in Challock
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. We serve burrito bowls, vegan tacos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for festivals and school and charity events.
A fête near Challock might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.

How the day works

- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 4 miles from Challock at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.

What affects the price in Challock
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we are serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Challock: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Challock?
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.
Which station should guests use for Challock?
The closest is Wye station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Perfect for your event in Challock
It copes with lunchtime rushes, thanks to fillings prepared in advance.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Open-air performances
- Country shows
- Summer fairs and fêtes
- Sports club events
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Wye station is about 3.3 miles away.
Before you book anyone

- The deadline for final numbers
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Staff numbers and hours
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
