Mexican street food in Patrixbourne, served fresh
We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. On the menu are burrito bowls, tacos and vegan tacos, and it suits crew and volunteer catering and sports club events.
Rural events near Patrixbourne can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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 will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Patrixbourne
Patrixbourne is about 3 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Patrixbourne to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Patrixbourne is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mary, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly.

For planners, venues and organisers

Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
