Mexican street food in Chatham
About our Mexican street food in Chatham
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. It works well for food markets and country shows, serving tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
In Chatham, busy events need traders who serve fast; a focused menu helps keep the queue moving. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Common questions in Chatham
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Darland Banks?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
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 run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we will go from there.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are great for groups.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling, salsa and toppings, quick to serve.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
