Mexican street food for Swattenden events
Mexican street food in Swattenden, from our truck or trailer
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. It works well for country shows and food and music festivals, serving burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
Near Swattenden, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Swattenden questions
Do you cater in villages like Swattenden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Is it possible to have you in Crane Valley?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cover Swattenden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Swattenden and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: 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 run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
