Mexican catering in Eccles
Mexican catering for your event in Eccles
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Eccles: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, and it suits fundraisers and school events and birthday parties.
Somewhere as small as Eccles, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Count children separately
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
The menu, item by item
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole, made for sharing.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Space for guests to queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Taco catering in Eccles: local tips
Eccles is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Kent. Events in Eccles are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Eccles is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 26 miles away.
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like St Mark's Church of England Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 8 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Eccles. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
Mexican catering in ME20 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Streets in the area include Bull Lane, Springett Close and Jenner Way, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Eccles
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is Eccles from London?
It’s about 28 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Why choose Mexican catering in Eccles?
People like choosing their own toppings, and the taco bar gets them talking while they queue.
