Mexican catering for your event in Herne
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For staff parties and office lunches and summer garden parties, we can serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos.
In and around Herne, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning a food truck in Herne
Herne is about 1 mile south of Herne Bay, in Kent. For an event in Herne, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Herne is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Herne Church of England Infant School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Martin after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Coastal events near Herne, which is within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.

Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Herne: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Martin?
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’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Herne?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Why choose Mexican catering in Herne?

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For event organisers in Herne
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Herne close in by about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
