How our Mexican catering works in Hale
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for engagement celebrations and family gatherings and christenings, serving burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Hale, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Hale
Will you travel to a small place like Hale?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat for your event in Hale. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Let us know about any other food at the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A December event in Hale will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Catering an event in Hale
Hale is about 1 mile south-west of Gillingham, in Medway. Whether your event is in the middle of Hale or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Hale is one of 68 places in Medway we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hale to Canterbury (about 23 miles away).
Before you pencil in Darland Banks, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Christ Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Hale is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
