About our Mexican street food in Ham
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. For school and charity events and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, tacos and burrito bowls.
A fête near Ham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us

- A picture of where we’d park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start

Event catering near Ham
Ham is about 3 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Ham or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 11 miles away.
If your event is in Ham Fen, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply what they need from us. Running a fête for a church like Church of St George?

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Ham? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December market in Ham loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Questions from Ham
Do you cater at coastal events near Ham?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ham Fen?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
What food and drinks do you offer?
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. Our sample menu has more ideas.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
