How our Mexican street food works in Pedlinge
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It works well for music and food festivals and agricultural and county shows, with tacos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos.
A fête near Pedlinge might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Running an event in Pedlinge
Pedlinge is about 1 mile north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Across the CT21 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. Pedlinge is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Events in parks such as Brockhill Country Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for from us. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Pedlinge, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 2 miles of Pedlinge, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we will check access.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Summer events in Pedlinge have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
