How our Mexican catering works in Hartley
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It suits family celebrations and birthday parties, with burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
In a smaller place like Hartley, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Catering an event in Hartley
Hartley is about 4 miles south-west of Northfleet, in Kent. Events in Hartley are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Hartley is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Hartley to London (19 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Longfield station, about 0.8 miles north-west. Guests leaving a church like Church of Saint Mary after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Hartley. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

FAQs for Hartley
Which station is closest to Hartley?
Guests can use Longfield station, about 0.8 miles north-west of Hartley.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Mary?
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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone generally ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
