About our Mexican catering in Broad Tenterden

The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. 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 dishes for guests with allergies.

Broad Tenterden: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Broad Tenterden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of St Mildred?
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.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.

Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.

That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
