How our Mexican catering works in Hackington
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. It suits markets and community events and leaving dos and retirement parties, with burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
For a rural spot like Hackington, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Space for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Hackington
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Cosmus and St Damian?
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 will check the access.
Could you serve in Tyler Hill Meadow?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you cover Hackington?
We do. We serve at events in Hackington and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
How it compares
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Taco catering in Hackington: local tips
Hackington is about 2 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT2, we can serve your guests. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as The Archbishop's School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Hackington is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.
