How our Mexican street food works in Grove Green
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 are served quickly from the hatch. We serve burritos, tacos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for food markets and country shows.
For events in a place like Grove Green, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December market in Grove Green loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Getting a price

Questions from Grove Green
Is it possible to have you in Vinters Valley Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.

Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
