Wincheap: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Wincheap?
Wincheap has its own station: Canterbury East station.
Do you come to school fairs around Wincheap?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. There are vegan tacos and corn tortillas for gluten-free visitors.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How quickly can you serve?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

We set up at the agreed time.

How it works

Summer events in Wincheap have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically 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.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day

- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
