Mexican street food for Vigo Village events
Vigo Village events: pitches and permissions
Vigo Village is about 7 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Vigo Village and nearby villages. Vigo Village is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Vigo Village to London (23 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Vigo Village School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Within about 8 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
This part of Kent takes in DA13. Streets in the area include Beech Mast, Erskine Road and Admers Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Vigo Village for Mexican street food include Culverstone Green (1 mile north-west), Harvel (1 mile north), Trottiscliffe (1 mile south), Fairseat (1 mile west) and Priestwood Green (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (8 miles south-east), Dartford (10 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (8 miles south-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (14 miles south), Gravesend (7 miles north) and Tonbridge (10 miles south).
A little further out are Coldrum Long Barrow (0.8 miles south-east) and Leybourne Castle (3.1 miles south-east).
Mexican street food in Vigo Village, served fresh
Festivals can be bigger than our usual 50 to 400 guests, so tell us expected visitor numbers and trading hours and we will plan around them. For hospitality and crew areas and country shows, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, vegan tacos and burrito bowls for your guests.
At a field event near Vigo Village, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
How far is Vigo Village from London?

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you send us your trader documents?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send the paperwork your event asks for.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

Why choose Mexican street food in Vigo Village?
One trader, several diets.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Sports clubs and race days
- Seasonal and night markets
- Food and music festivals
- County and country shows
Organisers looking at Trosley Country Park as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles.
Before booking anyone
- Whether travel is included
- When payment is due

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Confirm power and water with traders
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.
Burrito bowls for gluten-free visitors.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Summer events in Vigo Village have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.

Read our pricing or what Mexican catering costs.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
