Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Christmas markets in Lynsted trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Fairs, fêtes and events in Lynsted
Lynsted is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. From the centre of Lynsted to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Lynsted to Canterbury (13 miles away).
A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. A school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 8 miles from Lynsted at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it.
Wherever your event is in ME9, we can bring Mexican street food to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.
