Mexican street food near Lenham Heath
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
- The menu you choose
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What power and water the site has
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How our Mexican street food works in Lenham Heath

For a village fête or field event near Lenham Heath, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Lenham Heath: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Lenham Heath?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Which station is closest to Lenham Heath?
The closest is Lenham station, roughly 2 miles away.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Give traders a single information pack
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
We set up at the agreed time.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Flat, firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Lenham Heath 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.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day

- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
