Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu built around your guests
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included

About our Mexican catering in Barming Heath
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. At retirement and leaving parties and garden parties, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos and more.
Somewhere as small as Barming Heath, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Barming Heath: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Popular choices
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
What affects the price in Barming Heath
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. From late May to late September, sunset in Barming Heath moves from about 8:50pm to 7:00pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
