Mexican catering for Appledore Heath events
Mexican catering in Appledore Heath, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for big birthday celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Appledore Heath, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Appledore Heath, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Give us a contact for the day

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it compares
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Appledore Heath
How far is Appledore Heath from London?
It is about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll check the licensing with you before the day.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
