About our Mexican street food in Manston
We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. Popular choices include tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for village fairs and food and music festivals.
A fête near Manston might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Send traders one clear trader pack
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Aguas frescas and soft drinks at the stall.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Manston 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.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

How it compares
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Our menu gives visitors choice from one pitch. 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. We quote for each event individually.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Manston
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Manston?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you serve near the sea around Manston?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you need power?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details, including power and water.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
How quickly can you serve?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
