Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Mexican street food for your event in Rough Common
Our food is easy to eat standing up or on the grass. We serve burritos, quesadillas and tacos, and it suits open-air performances and agricultural and county shows.
Near Rough Common, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Your questions about Mexican street food in Rough Common
Is it possible to have you in Whitehall Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Rough Common for guests?
Canterbury West station, about 1.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Rough Common.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
DIY taco night or 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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot burrito or taco bowl keeps crew going. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included

Street food for events around Rough Common
Rough Common is about 2 miles north-west of Canterbury, in Kent. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Rough Common and the surrounding area. Rough Common is one of 922 places in Kent we cover.
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Blean Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as Church of St. Gabriel could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. The coast is within about 5 miles of Rough Common, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
Here we cover the CT2 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Ross Gardens, Firtree Close and Rough Common Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Rough Common, we also cover Harbledown (1 mile south-east), Upper Harbledown (1 mile south-west), Hales Place (1 mile east), Wincheap (2 miles south-east) and Thanington (2 miles south).

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A December market in Rough Common loses the light at 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, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
