Mexican catering for your event in Gravesend
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits milestone birthdays and summer garden parties.
A town like Gravesend gives you plenty of options: your own garden or drive, a club or hall with a car park, or a venue nearby. We’ll agree where we park beforehand. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Evenings in Gravesend stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Catering an event in Gravesend
Gravesend is about 9 miles north-west of Gillingham, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Gravesend or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for London, about 21 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Christ Church Milton, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Before you pencil in Northfleet Urban Country Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.
For Mexican catering in DA12 and DA11, we plan around your venue and the route in. Your event could be at a home on Christ Church Road, Hillside Drive and Laurel Avenue. Gravesend sits on or near the A2 and A226, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. If your venue is just outside Gravesend, we also cover Windmill Hill (1 mile north-west), Milton-next-Gravesend (1 mile north-east), Denton (1 mile east), Singlewell or Ifield (1 mile south) and Northfleet (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (13 miles south-east), Dartford (7 miles west), Sevenoaks (13 miles south-west), Swanley (9 miles west), Kings Hill (11 miles south) and Foley Park (12 miles south-east).
Nearby you will also find Gravesham Museum (0.9 miles north-west) and Stone Castle (4.5 miles west). Not far away are Sawyers Lake and Gad's Hill.
- Nearby schools include St John's Catholic Comprehensive (less than half a mile north-east) and St John's Catholic Comprehensive (less than half a mile north-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Waterloo Public House (0.6 miles north-west)
FAQs for Gravesend
Is Gravesend close to London?
It is about 21 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church Milton?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Gravesend?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you before the day.
How much will it cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
