About our Mexican street food in Etchinghill
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. Popular choices include burrito bowls, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it’s a good fit for food and music festivals and open days and community events.
At a field event near Etchinghill, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Common questions in Etchinghill
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station is closest to Etchinghill?
Sandling station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.

- Flat, firm ground
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- Clear information on power, water and waste

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. At midsummer, events in Etchinghill stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
