Mexican catering in Coldred
Mexican catering in Coldred, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits weddings, day or evening and charity and school events.
In a rural place like Coldred, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What else we do in Coldred
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Winter evenings in Coldred close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start

Your questions about Mexican catering in Coldred
How far is Coldred from central London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
