How our Mexican catering works in Dargate
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. On the menu are burritos, burrito bowls and tacos, and it is a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Dargate, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Dargate questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Dargate for guests?
Selling station, about 3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Occasions we cater for in Dargate
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
These are some of the occasions we serve:

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:

- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
