We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. We serve vegan tacos, quesadillas and tacos, and it’s a good fit for fundraisers and fêtes and food markets.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans

Guests can use Appledore (Kent) station, about 1.1 miles north-west of Snargate.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you do margaritas?
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’ll talk licensing through with you.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
With fillings ready to go, service is quick.

What’s on the menu
Burritos
A burrito keeps visitors going.
Vegan tacos
A real choice for vegans.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December market in Snargate loses the light at about 3:50pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- 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
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
How to get a price
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
