About our Mexican catering in Bilting
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At charity and school events and markets and community events, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a hamlet or village like Bilting, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp.
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Common questions in Bilting
Which station should guests use for Bilting?
Wye station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

Bilting is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Bilting to Canterbury (about 8 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Lawrence after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. By rail: the nearest station is Wye station, about 1.7 miles south. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Bilting, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
We serve at events all over the TN25 postcode area. Whether your event is on Canterbury Road and Bilting Lane or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. 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.
