Mexican catering for your event in Brabourne Lees
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Brabourne Lees and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for leaving parties and summer garden parties.
Somewhere like Brabourne Lees, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Why choose Mexican catering in Brabourne Lees?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Brabourne Lees questions
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
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’ll check the access.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
