Mexican street food in Gravesend
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Christmas markets in Gravesend trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price

Mexican street food in Gravesend, served fresh
We agree a stall menu with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. We serve burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and street food and farmers’ markets.
Community events in Gravesend often rely on a few good food traders. One pitch can cover meat, vegetarian and vegan options. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Where the truck can go in Gravesend
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Flat, firm ground

Gravesend questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Northfleet Urban Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Gravesend from central London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We will check the licensing with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Will there be long queues?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
How it compares
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Expected numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa and toppings for sharing.
Tacos
Street tacos suit a festival crowd.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
