Working with your venue

How our Mexican catering works in Hastingleigh
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. For garden parties and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas for your guests.
In a small place like Hastingleigh, events are generally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Hastingleigh
Which station should guests use for Hastingleigh?
The closest is Wye station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

Taco catering in Hastingleigh: local tips
Hastingleigh is about 6 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Across the TN25 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Hastingleigh is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 9 miles away.
A gathering in Spong Wood would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Hastingleigh, 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.
Anywhere in TN25, we can bring Mexican catering to you. Streets in the area include The Street, Becket's Close and Tamley Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December event in Hastingleigh will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
