DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Mexican street food in Newtown, from our food truck or trailer
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass, which suits festival crowds. Popular choices include vegan tacos, burritos and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for fundraisers and fêtes and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Newtown can be a good fit for a taco truck. Send us the pitch and access details. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Summer events in Newtown have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us when you want service to start

Street food for events around Newtown
Newtown is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Kent. For an event in Newtown, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We serve in 922 places in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Ashford International station, about 0.9 miles north. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as East Stour Primary School, a busy corner. Within about 5 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
Wherever your event is in TN24 and TN23, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Bath Road, Mead Road and Royds Road. Nearby, we also cater events in South Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Park Farm (1 mile south-west), Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Ashford (1 mile north-west) and Finberry (1 mile south-east).

- Pubs nearby include The Albion Inn (0.5 miles north-east)
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Newtown: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around Newtown?
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.
How far is Newtown from central London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
For event organisers in Newtown
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- A clear quote
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

What Mexican street food costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
