Crayford events: pitches and permissions
Crayford is about 2 miles west of Dartford, in Kent. Across the DA1 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Crayford is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Crayford to London (about 12 miles away).
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St Paulinus could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. A market or festival in Braeburn Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork.
We cater events across DA1, DA5 and DA7 and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Swan Lane, Dale Road and Ross Road. If your venue is just outside Crayford, we also cover Bowmans (1 mile south), Barnes Cray (1 mile north-east), Barnehurst (1 mile north-west), Coldblow (1 mile south-west) and Wilmington (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Sevenoaks (12 miles south), Gravesend (9 miles east), Northfleet (7 miles east), Swanley (4 miles south), Swanscombe (5 miles east) and Windmill Hill (8 miles east).

What else we do in Crayford
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

What affects the price in Crayford
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Summer events in Crayford have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
