Mexican street food in Out Elmstead, from our food truck or trailer
For festivals, numbers can be larger than most of our events, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we’ll plan around them. Popular choices include burrito bowls, vegan tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for country shows and sports club events.
A fête near Out Elmstead might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Out Elmstead is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent.

Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Trader information and site rules
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Christmas markets in Out Elmstead 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.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Your questions about Mexican street food in Out Elmstead
Could you serve in Jumping Downs?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you bring margaritas?
That depends on licensing. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event, and we’ll go from there.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
How we price Mexican street food
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- Food, drinks or both
- How many guests we are serving
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
