Mexican street food in Silver Street, from our truck or trailer
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events in and around Silver Street. It works well for village fêtes and summer fairs and race days and sports events, serving tacos, burrito bowls and vegan tacos.
For a village fête or field event near Silver Street, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

FAQs for Silver Street
How far is Silver Street from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you come to Silver Street?
Yes, we do. Silver Street is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How it compares
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Our food is made to order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Book food, drinks or both
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December market in Silver Street loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
