Mexican street food for Paddlesworth events
About our Mexican street food in Paddlesworth
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events in and around Paddlesworth. For open-air performances and fundraisers and fêtes, we can serve loaded nachos, vegan tacos and quesadillas and more.
For a village fête or field event near Paddlesworth, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Flat, firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers

How we price Mexican street food
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Send us the date, your venue or ME6 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Schedule crew meals
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
We arrive in the agreed set-up window, following your trader pack.

Questions from Paddlesworth
Which station should guests use for Paddlesworth?
Snodland station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Paddlesworth?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Summer events in Paddlesworth have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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 pack down and tidy the pitch.
