Mexican street food near Lower Hartlip
Mexican street food in Lower Hartlip, from our food truck or trailer
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. At crew and volunteer catering and village fairs, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, vegan tacos and quesadillas.
Rural events near Lower Hartlip can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Lower Hartlip questions
Could you serve in Foxburrow Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is there a vegan option at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Lower Hartlip stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Prices and what affects them

- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
