About our Mexican street food in Old Hawkinge
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so share expected numbers and trading hours and we will plan stock and service. We serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for open days and community events and country shows.
For a village fête or field event near Old Hawkinge, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Trader information and site rules
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Old Hawkinge: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
What’s the nearest station to Old Hawkinge for guests?
Guests can use Folkestone Central station, about 2.3 miles south of Old Hawkinge.
How quickly can you serve?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
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, including Old Hawkinge.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Why choose Mexican street food in Old Hawkinge?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
How we price Mexican street food
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. At midsummer, events in Old Hawkinge stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
