Running an event in Chartway Street
Chartway Street is about 5 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. We bring Mexican street food to homes, gardens and venues in Chartway Street and nearby villages. Chartway Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Chartway Street to Canterbury (about 21 miles away).
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Kingswood Primary School, a busy corner. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Peter's and St Paul's Church, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Chartway Street, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
A single pizza or burger stall cannot cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we offer in Chartway Street
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer

Read our pricing or our guide to catering costs.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
