Mexican catering in Chatham, served fresh
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Chatham and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there’s safe access. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and christenings and family parties, serving burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos.
Chatham is a large place with every kind of venue, from function rooms to gardens and courtyards. Wherever you hold your event, we need a level, firm spot and a way in for the truck or trailer, and town-centre access and loading times are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Chatham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Chatham for guests?
The closest is Chatham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is Chatham close to London?
It’s about 29 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. See all areas.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Evenings in Chatham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day

With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Chatham. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
