Mexican street food in Marley
What’s on the menu
Vegan tacos
A real choice for vegans.
Burritos
A burrito keeps visitors going.
How our Mexican street food works in Marley
The menu is agreed with organisers, perhaps chicken tinga, carnitas or birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. It works well for food and music festivals and outdoor screenings, serving burrito bowls, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
At a field event near Marley, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Late-September events in Marley see sunset at about 7:00pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.

Questions from Marley
Do you come out to small places like Marley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is it possible to have you in Jumping Downs?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
