How our Mexican catering works in Bapchild
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can serve tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls and more.
Somewhere as small as Bapchild, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Why choose Mexican catering in Bapchild?
There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Engagement celebrations
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Fundraisers and school events
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Rodmersham School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Bapchild questions
Could you serve in Cromers Wood?
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 will send what they need from us.
How far is Bapchild from central London?
It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you serve in the rain?
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.
