Mexican street food for your event in Crouch

At a field event near Crouch, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Crouch events: pitches and permissions
Crouch is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. From the centre of Crouch to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Crouch is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Crouch to London (23 miles away).
Organisers looking at Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Borough Green Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 7 miles from Crouch at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
Here we cover the TN15 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include Basted Lane and Long Mill Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Crouch, we also cover Claygate Cross (1 mile west), Basted (1 mile north-west), Platt (1 mile north-east), Comp (1 mile north-east) and Borough Green (1 mile north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (9 miles east), Dartford (12 miles north), Sevenoaks (6 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south), Gravesend (11 miles north) and Tonbridge (6 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Sevenoaks Hospital (5.3 miles west) and Ightham Court (1.8 miles north-west).
- Local schools include Wrotham School (1.6 miles north)
- Nearby, you will find The Chequers Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Christmas markets in Crouch trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
