Mexican street food for Gushmere events
Your questions about Mexican street food in Gushmere
Could you serve in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
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 will send what they need from us.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegan fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans are on the menu.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
About our Mexican street food in Gushmere
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and quesadillas, and it’s a good fit for school and charity events and music and food festivals.
At a field event near Gushmere, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Street food for events around Gushmere
Gushmere is about 3 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Gushmere or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Rail travel is an option for visitors, as the nearest station is Selling station, about 0.6 miles east. Events in parks such as Mount Ephraim Gardens need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for from us. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 7 miles from Gushmere at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
Here we cover the ME13 postcode area. Your event could be at a home on Selling Road and Vicarage Lane. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Crouch (1 mile north-east), Selling (1 mile south), Neames Forstal (1 mile south-east), South Street (1 mile east) and Hogben's Hill (1 mile south-west).

Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Burger stalls are common. A Mexican trader adds variety to a food line-up. There’s 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. Contact us for a quote.

How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, events in Gushmere stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
