Running an event in Lydd-on-Sea

A fundraiser for a church like St Peter's might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer.
Anywhere in TN29 and TN28, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as Taylor Road, Lade Fort Crescent and Williamson Road or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Greatstone-on-Sea (2 miles north), Dungeness (2 miles south), Littlestone-on-Sea (2 miles north), Lydd (2 miles west) and New Romney (3 miles north).

Mexican street food for your event in Lydd-on-Sea
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. Popular choices include tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos, which works well for open days and community events and food and music festivals.
Near Lydd-on-Sea, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Mexican street food or something else?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.

- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
