Mexican street food for your event in Lordswood
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It works well for food markets and music and food festivals, with tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Events near Lordswood are often volunteer-run, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

We serve in 68 places in Medway, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Lordswood to Canterbury (about 24 miles away).

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A December market in Lordswood loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
