Mexican catering in Great Mongeham
How our Mexican catering works in Great Mongeham
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. For leaving dos and retirement parties and christenings and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos.
Somewhere as small as Great Mongeham, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Great Mongeham: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Great Mongeham?
The closest is Walmer station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How much will it cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
