Mexican catering for your event in Hawkhurst
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. For markets and community events and garden get-togethers, we can serve burrito bowls, burritos and tacos for your guests.
Around Hawkhurst, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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 will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Hawkhurst questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Is Hawkhurst close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate, and guests add as much as they like.
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
