About our Mexican catering in Charing Hill
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Charing Hill: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for family celebrations and big birthday celebrations, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos.
For a rural spot like Charing Hill, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours

What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Why choose Mexican catering in Charing Hill?
Mixed diets are easy to plan for, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Leaving parties
- Festivals, fairs and markets
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Big birthday celebrations
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Charing Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

Charing Hill: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Charing Hill: venues, access and local tips
Charing Hill is about 6 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Charing Hill to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Charing Hill is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Charing Hill to Canterbury (13 miles away).
Before you pencil in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Charing station, about 0.9 miles south-west. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Charing Hill. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We serve at events all over the TN27 postcode area and the streets around it. For events just outside Charing Hill, we cover Stocker's Head (1 mile east), Stalisfield (2 miles north), Stalisfield Green (2 miles north), Paddock (2 miles east) and The Valley (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (6 miles south-east), Canterbury (13 miles east), Sittingbourne (9 miles north), Whitstable (14 miles north-east) and Faversham (8 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Newnham Castle (4.8 miles north).
- Local pubs include King's Head Public House (0.6 miles south-west)
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A December event in Charing Hill will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
