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. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Mexican catering in Ashbank, served fresh
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Ashbank: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. Popular choices include tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for staff parties and office lunches and retirement and leaving parties.
For a rural spot like Ashbank, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
How we price Mexican catering
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Food, drinks or both
- How many guests we are serving
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.

Mexican catering or something else?

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance

We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Ashbank close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us a contact for the day

Ashbank questions
Which station should guests use for Ashbank?
Guests can use Hollingbourne station, about 1.1 miles north-east of Ashbank.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Nicholas's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
