Your questions about Mexican street food in Chatham Waterfront
Which station is closest to Chatham Waterfront?
Chatham Waterfront has its own station: Chatham station.
Can you trade at a school fair in Chatham Waterfront?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What do you need at the pitch?
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 handle a lunchtime rush?
Tell us expected visitor numbers and we will plan for peak times, so queues keep moving.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors, with allergen information for every dish.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.

Mexican street food or something else?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Why us?
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Allergen information for every dish
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Book food, drinks or both
Take a look at our prices page and what Mexican catering costs.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

What else we do in Chatham Waterfront
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Provide seating near the food
- Check how traders handle peak times
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.
Nachos for groups.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Trader information and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Chatham Waterfront loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or ME4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
