Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Mexican street food for your event in West End
We work to your trader pack and site rules, including arrival times and waste arrangements. It works well for street food and farmers’ markets and crew and volunteer catering, serving vegan tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
A fête near West End might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will confirm the arrangements. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. At midsummer, events in West End stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

West End: your questions answered
Do you come to school fairs around West End?
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.
Do you cater at coastal events near West End?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cater in West End?
We do. We serve at events in West End and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We arrive in the agreed set-up window.
Loaded nachos for sharing.

Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Thornden Wood Primary School, a busy corner.
