Common questions in Goathurst Common
Is Goathurst Common close to London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Will you travel to a small place like Goathurst Common?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas 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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Mexican catering in Goathurst Common, served fresh
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. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. For leaving dos and retirement parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Somewhere as small as Goathurst Common, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Goathurst Common: venues, access and local tips
Goathurst Common is about 3 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. From the centre of Goathurst Common to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 20 miles away.
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Ide Hill Church of England Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Parks such as Stubbs Wood Country Park typically need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. Goathurst Common is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
We serve at events all over TN14.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- 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 will advise before booking.
