Local streets include Gwyn Road, Coxes Lane and Roman Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Northwood is on the A254 and A256, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Questions from Northwood
Which station should guests use for Northwood?
The closest is Ramsgate station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you come to a seaside event near Northwood?
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 run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We’ll check the licensing with you.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

What Mexican street food costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

- The address or venue name

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. For an evening event in Northwood, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
