Mexican catering in Hawley, served fresh
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. It works well for anniversaries and engagements and big birthday celebrations, with burritos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Hawley, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Hawley: your questions answered
Is Hawley close to London?
About 15 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Is it possible to have you in Darenth Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you cook on site?
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.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. A December event in Hawley 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 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
