About our Mexican catering in Darenth
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for weddings and evening receptions and company summer parties, with burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Somewhere like Darenth, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Questions from Darenth
Could you serve in Darenth Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Is Darenth close to London?
About 16 miles from central London.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What space do you need?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
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.
Why choose Mexican catering in Darenth?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event

Before you choose a spot

- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning a food truck in Darenth
Darenth is about 2 miles south-east of Dartford, in Kent. For an event in Darenth, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Darenth. Darenth is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Darenth to London (16 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Greenlands Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Margaret of Antioch, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Darenth, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
Anywhere in DA2, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Hill Rise, Hillside and Moss Way or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. Neighbouring places where we cater events include St Margarets (1 mile south), Green Street Green (1 mile south-east), Sutton at Hone (1 mile south-west), South Darenth (1 mile south) and Bean (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Sevenoaks (10 miles south), Gravesend (5 miles east), Tonbridge (15 miles south), Northfleet (4 miles east), Swanley (4 miles south-west) and Kings Hill (12 miles south-east).
A little further out are Bluewater (1.5 miles north-east) and Darenth Park Hospital (1 mile north). Open spaces near Darenth include Wansunt Pit and Sawyers Lake.
- Local schools include Leigh Academy (1.5 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find Fox & Hounds pub (less than half a mile north-west)
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Darenth close in by about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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’ll do the serving.
