Mexican street food or something else?

Fairs, fêtes and events in Hernhill
Hernhill is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the ME13 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hernhill to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If your event is in Mount Ephraim Gardens, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we will supply what they need from us. With the sea within about 5 miles, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. At midsummer, events in Hernhill stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

FAQs for Hernhill
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
How far is Hernhill from central London?
It’s about 47 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you provide plates and napkins?

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
