- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site

Mexican catering in Hadlow, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for office lunches and team days and markets and community events.
In a hamlet or village like Hadlow, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

What Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
- How we drive in and where we can park
Send us the date, your venue or TN11 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Tell us how many children are coming
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Questions from Hadlow
What’s the nearest station to Hadlow for guests?
Beltring station, about 3.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Hadlow?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Hadlow?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December event in Hadlow will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- 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
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
