Mexican street food in Otham, from our food truck or trailer
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events in and around Otham. Popular choices include tacos, quesadillas and vegan tacos, which works well for crew and volunteer catering and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Otham can be a good fit for a taco truck. Send us the pitch and access details. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Otham
Is it possible to have you in Mote Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we will go from there.

Why choose Mexican street food in Otham?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Christmas markets in Otham trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
