Mexican catering near Goudhurst
Catering an event in Goudhurst
Goudhurst is about 8 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Goudhurst or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Goudhurst to Canterbury (about 29 miles away).
Parks such as The Gill usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Mary's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the High Weald National Landscape about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Goudhurst. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
This part of Kent takes in TN17, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Whether your event is on High Street, Church Road and Back Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover events in Smallbridge (1 mile north-west), Brandfold (1 mile north), Broad Ford (1 mile north-west), Capel Cross (2 miles north) and Glassenbury (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (11 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (8 miles west), Tonbridge (10 miles north-west), Kings Hill (11 miles north), Foley Park (12 miles north) and Paddock Wood (5 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Finchcocks Musical Museum (1.6 miles south-west) and Ticehurst House Hospital (5.1 miles south-west). Not far away are Bewl Water.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Star And Eagle Hotel (within half a mile north-east)
How our Mexican catering works in Goudhurst
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for summer garden parties and christenings and family parties.
In a rural place like Goudhurst, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. From late May to late September, sunset in Goudhurst moves from about 8:50pm to 7:00pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- The date and rough timings
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Send us the date, your venue or TN17 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Mention any other caterers or courses
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas go down well with children.

Goudhurst: your questions answered
Do you come to events 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
What if it rains?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Where the truck can go in Goudhurst
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
