About our Mexican street food in Lower Rainham
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for sports club events and food and music festivals, serving loaded nachos, burritos and vegan tacos.
At a field event near Lower Rainham, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Lower Rainham: your questions answered
Is Lower Rainham close to London?
It is about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you cater in Lower Rainham?
We do. Lower Rainham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Confirm power and water with traders
Crew meals are served at set times.

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Late-September events in Lower Rainham see sunset at about 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.

- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
