Your questions about Mexican street food in Playden
Do you come out to small places like Playden?
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.

Playden is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Playden to Maidstone (about 23 miles away).
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, a busy corner.
