Mexican catering in Detling
Mexican catering in Detling, from our truck or trailer
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and festivals, fairs and markets, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and burritos.
In a rural place like Detling, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Catering an event in Detling
Detling is about 3 miles north-east of Maidstone, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Detling, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Detling. Detling is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 22 miles away.
A gathering in The Larches would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. A school such as Valley Park School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Detling. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Wherever your event is in ME14, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on The Street, Princes Way and Queens Way or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Thurnham (1 mile south-east), Grove Green (1 mile south-west), Harbourland (1 mile west), Weavering (2 miles south) and Bearsted (2 miles south).

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

Quesadillas are simple and comforting, and they go down well with children.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Detling
Which station should guests use for Detling?
Bearsted station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at St Martin of Tours Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
