Mexican catering in Hampton, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
There may be a hall or club near Hampton if your garden is small; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Hampton until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.

A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

FAQs for Hampton
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station is closest to Hampton?
Herne Bay station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Hampton?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Where the truck can go in Hampton
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
