Mexican street food in Stanhope
Mexican street food for your event in Stanhope
Festivals, fairs, markets and school fairs are all on our list. It works well for outdoor cinema and theatre nights and country shows, serving vegan tacos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Around Stanhope, a fête or summer fair suits a food truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Mexican street food or something else?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- A clear quote

Stanhope: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Stanhope for guests?
Guests can use Ashford International station, about 1.2 miles north-east of Stanhope.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ashford Community Woodland?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Confirm power and water with traders
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan access routes for trader vehicles
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Loaded nachos for sharing.

Stanhope is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Stanhope to Canterbury (14 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Ashford International station, about 1.2 miles north-east. A market or festival in Ashford Community Woodland would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork. Shows and fairs in the Kent Downs National Landscape, about 6 miles from Stanhope at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it.
We cover events in every part of TN23. Streets in the area include Green Lane, Cryol Road and Athol Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Ashford (1 mile north-east), Park Farm (1 mile south-east), Kingsnorth (1 mile south), Newtown (1 mile east) and Great Chart (1 mile north-west).

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Flat, firm ground
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- The event’s site rules and timings
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Christmas markets in Stanhope trade in the dark from about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
