Mexican street food for Key's Green events
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, events in Key's Green stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

About our Mexican street food in Key's Green
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for fundraisers and fêtes and outdoor screenings, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
A fête near Key's Green might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Common questions in Key's Green
Is it possible to have you in Brenchley Wood?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you cater in Key's Green?
We do. Key's Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
