Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
- Share power and water details early
- Check allergen information is on display
- Put all trader information in one pack
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

Mexican street food for your event in Kilndown
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 sports club events and village fairs, serving vegan tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
Near Kilndown, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. For an evening event in Kilndown, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- A picture of where we’d park
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send us your details through our quote form.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?

FAQs for Kilndown
Do you come out to small places like Kilndown?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
