Mexican street food near Highstreet
How our Mexican street food works in Highstreet
A taco stall covers many diets at once: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It suits county and country shows and race days and sports events, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
A fête near Highstreet might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A December market in Highstreet 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, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Give us a contact for the day

Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Tacos add something different. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Running an event in Highstreet
Highstreet is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. For Mexican street food in Highstreet, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Highstreet is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food.
Organisers looking at Foxes Cross Bottom as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.
Anywhere in ME13, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Thanet Way and Highstreet Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Waterham (1 mile west), Dargate (1 mile south-west), Seasalter (1 mile north), Hernhill (2 miles south-west) and Slutshole (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (14 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles west), Whitstable (3 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (7 miles north-east).

How we price Mexican street food
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
