Mexican catering in Charcott
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. In Charcott, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Mexican catering in Charcott, served fresh
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. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for weddings, day or evening and fairs and festivals.
Somewhere as small as Charcott, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Diets, allergies and planning

When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

Charcott questions
How far is Charcott from central London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you before the day.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
