Corporate Mexican catering in Hockenden, from our food truck or trailer
Hot food from a truck makes lunch something to look forward to, not just a break from it. We serve quesadillas, nachos to share and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for charity days at work and working lunches.
An away day near Hockenden is a good fit for street food: it needs no kitchen, just level, firm ground and access. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Common questions in Hockenden
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you do a bar for work events?
Our drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, such as the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan where the truck or trailer will park
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Confirm vehicle access with facilities
- Let us know how long people have to eat
