How our Mexican street food works in Ottinge
One Mexican trader covers several diets: we serve vegan and vegetarian fillings and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors. That makes your food line-up easier. It suits summer fairs and fêtes and street food and farmers’ markets, with vegan tacos, tacos and loaded nachos.
Rural events near Ottinge can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
The menu, item by item
Burrito bowls
Bowls suit gluten-free visitors on the grass.
Quesadillas
Popular with children.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Ottinge see sunset at about 7:00pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Ottinge: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Ottinge?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater in villages like Ottinge?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you come to Ottinge?
We do. Ottinge is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.

Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.

Why choose Mexican street food in Ottinge?
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. 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.

Running a fête for a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Visitors arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Sandling station, about 3.7 miles south. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Ottinge, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Your trader pack and site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Provide seating near the food
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
Orders are served throughout the event, made to order.

- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
