About our Mexican street food in Farningham
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It suits seasonal and night markets and school fairs and fundraisers, with burrito bowls, tacos and vegan tacos.
A fête near Farningham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Christmas markets in Farningham trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.

- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
