Mexican catering for your event in Challock
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. On the menu are burritos, burrito bowls and tacos, and it is a good fit for engagement celebrations and company summer parties.
In a rural place like Challock, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Taco catering in Challock: local tips
Challock is about 5 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN25 area, we will come to your venue or site. Challock is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Challock to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
Around Challock, historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (3.9 miles north) and Godinton House (4.5 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Challock Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Challock. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Mexican catering in TN25 is planned around your venue and access and timings. Streets in the area include Chapmans Close, Blind Lane and Old Clock House Green, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

- Pubs nearby include The Chequers pub (less than half a mile south-west)
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or served as a bowl instead.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Challock, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and 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 truck or trailer.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive

We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
