Mexican street food in Walmer, served fresh
One Mexican trader covers several diets: there are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas. That helps organisers balance the line-up. Popular choices include vegan tacos, tacos and burritos, which works well for agricultural and county shows and open-air performances.
Events near Walmer are often volunteer-run, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Street food for events around Walmer
Walmer is about 6 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Walmer and the surrounding area. Walmer is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Walmer station is about 0.7 miles away. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as The Downs Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. The coast is within about 2 miles of Walmer, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
Here we cover the CT14 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Lawn Road, York Road and Grams Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. You will find Walmer on the A258, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December market in Walmer loses the light at 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.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
