Your questions about Mexican street food in Lenham Forstal
Which station should guests use for Lenham Forstal?
Lenham station, about 1.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Kiln 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 will send what they need from us.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much does Mexican street food cost in Lenham Forstal?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A December market in Lenham Forstal loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- 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.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Street tacos with your choice of filling.
Vegan tacos
Fillings such as spiced mushrooms or black beans.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
