Mexican catering in Glassenbury, from our food truck or trailer
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. For markets and community events and staff parties and office lunches, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos and more.

FAQs for Glassenbury
Do you come out to small places like Glassenbury?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Glassenbury?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.

Mexican catering around Glassenbury
Glassenbury is about 10 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Glassenbury, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Glassenbury is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Glassenbury to Canterbury (about 28 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Scotney Castle (4 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. A gathering in Crane Valley would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. With the High Weald National Landscape about 2 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Glassenbury. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cover events in every part of TN17 and the streets around it. For events just outside Glassenbury, we cover Goudhurst (2 miles north-west), Brandfold (2 miles north-west), Smallbridge (3 miles north-west), Broad Ford (3 miles north-west) and Capel Cross (3 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (11 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles west), Tonbridge (12 miles north-west), Kings Hill (12 miles north), Foley Park (12 miles north) and Paddock Wood (7 miles north-west).

Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. In Glassenbury, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
