Mexican catering in Herne Pound
Planning a food truck in Herne Pound
Herne Pound is about 6 miles north-east of Tonbridge, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Herne Pound will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Herne Pound is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Herne Pound to London (26 miles away).
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Mereworth Community Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. If people are travelling in by rail, Wateringbury station is about 2.2 miles away.
For Mexican catering in ME18, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Butcher's Lane and Beech Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Kent Street (1 mile north-east), Mereworth (1 mile south), New Pound (1 mile west), Swanton (1 mile south-west) and Pizien Well (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (6 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north-west), Sevenoaks (8 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (10 miles south-west), Gravesend (11 miles north) and Tonbridge (6 miles south-west).
A little further out are Beechin Wood Archery Museum (2.4 miles north-west) and Leybourne Castle (3.3 miles north-east).

Mexican catering in Herne Pound, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. For company summer parties and engagement celebrations, we will put together a menu of burritos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a rural place like Herne Pound, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
Send us the date, your venue or ME18 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Why choose Mexican catering in Herne Pound?
With a barbecue, someone usually ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Herne Pound questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Lawrence's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Manor Park Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What space do you need?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How the day works
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. Around midsummer it stays light in Herne Pound until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Herne Pound, and we will put together a menu and price.

Before you choose a spot

- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking

Organising for someone else?
