Mexican catering for Chilham events
Mexican catering in Chilham, from our food truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for festivals, fairs and markets and retirement and leaving parties, with burritos, burrito bowls and tacos.
Somewhere like Chilham, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
