The menu, item by item
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
How our Mexican catering works in Hawkenbury
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and anniversaries and engagements, with burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Hawkenbury, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Evenings in Hawkenbury stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Planning a food truck in Hawkenbury

We serve in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Hawkenbury to Canterbury (23 miles away).
Hawkenbury is within about 6 miles of the High Weald 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.

Common questions in Hawkenbury

Which station is closest to Hawkenbury?
Guests can use Staplehurst station, about 1.3 miles west of Hawkenbury.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.

Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.

What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
For event organisers in Hawkenbury
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
