How our Mexican street food works in Leeds
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, so service stays quick through busy periods. At agricultural and county shows and fundraisers and fêtes, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
At a fête or field event near Leeds, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Street food for events around Leeds
Leeds is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. For Mexican street food in Leeds, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Leeds is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 21 miles away.
Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St Nicholas's Church could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Hollingbourne station, about 1.6 miles north-east. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Leeds, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
Anywhere in ME17, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Brogden Crescent, Forge Lane and Gloriette Avenue, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Ashbank (1 mile north-east), Broomfield (1 mile east), Eyhorne Street (1 mile north-east), Chartway Street (2 miles south) and Kingswood (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (4 miles west), Ashford (13 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles north-east), Tonbridge (15 miles west), Faversham (13 miles east) and Minster (15 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Leeds Castle (1 mile east) and KIMS hospital (3.4 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Detling Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The George Inn (less than half a mile east)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Questions from Leeds
Will you travel to a small place like Leeds?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Leeds for guests?
Guests can use Hollingbourne station, about 1.6 miles north-east of Leeds.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We will talk licensing through with you.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clear information on power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
