How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in Elvington see sunset at about 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- 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
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Confirm power and water with traders
On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.
Vegan tacos alongside the rest.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want service to start
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
How it compares
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. 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.

Elvington events: pitches and permissions
Elvington is about 5 miles north of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Elvington to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Elvington to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
Visitors arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Shepherds Well station, about 1.9 miles south-west. Running a fête for a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 8 miles of Elvington, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.
Anywhere in CT15, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Local streets include Sweetbriar Lane, Poplar Drive and Fairview Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Nearby, we also cater events in Barfrestone (1 mile west), Frogham (1 mile west), Tilmanstone (2 miles east), Nonington (2 miles north-west) and Chillenden (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (9 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (5 miles south), Folkestone (9 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Buckland Hospital (5.5 miles south).

Your questions about Mexican street food in Elvington
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Elvington?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How quickly can you serve?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Do you come to Elvington?
Yes, we do. Elvington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
