How our Mexican catering works in Fordcombe
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At festivals, fairs and markets and fundraisers and school events, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Fordcombe, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Ashurst Kent station, about 1.4 miles south-west of the centre.

Can you serve in the rain?

Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Fordcombe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

Planning a food truck in Fordcombe
Fordcombe is about 4 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.
