Mexican street food for your event in Hales Place
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. It works well for county and country shows and outdoor screenings, with quesadillas, loaded nachos and burritos.
Events near Hales Place are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Late-September events in Hales Place see sunset at about 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Street food for events around Hales Place
Hales Place is about 1 mile north of Canterbury, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Hales Place will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as St Stephen's Junior School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. A market or festival in Bus Company Island would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we will provide our part of the paperwork. Within about 6 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Anywhere in CT2 and CT1, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Downs Road, Godden Road and Tunstall Road or the roads around them.

Questions from Hales Place
Could you serve in Bus Company Island?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Hales Place?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
