Mexican street food for West Hythe events
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:

- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- A level pitch on firm ground

West Hythe questions
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Is it possible to have you in Sandling Park?
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 clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
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 need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

West Hythe is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from West Hythe to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
A market or festival in Sandling Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we will provide our part of the paperwork. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Stephen, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Organisers near the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of West Hythe, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 3 miles of West Hythe, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. At midsummer, events in West Hythe stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
