Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
How our Mexican catering works in Cobham
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. On the menu are tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for charity and school events and family gatherings and christenings.
Somewhere as small as Cobham, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Cobham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us a contact for the day

Cobham: venues, access and local tips
Cobham is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Cobham and nearby villages. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is London, about 23 miles away.
Close to Cobham are historic houses such as Cobham College (within half a mile south-west) and Starkey Castle (3.1 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one.

We cover events in every part of the DA12 postcode area. Streets in the area include The Street, Lawrence Drive and Cobhambury Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Questions from Cobham
Do you come out to small places like Cobham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
