Mexican street food in Eastry, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for feeding crew and volunteers and agricultural and county shows.
Events near Eastry are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.

Running an event in Eastry
Eastry is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Eastry. Eastry is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Eastry to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, a busy corner. Events in parks such as Ham Fen need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for from us. With the sea within about 5 miles, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.
Wherever your event is in CT13, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Swaynes Way and Wheelwrights Way.

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Our food is made to order. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
