Mexican catering for your event in Heronden
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. At family gatherings and christenings and fundraisers and school events, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Heronden, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.

Taco catering in Heronden: local tips
Heronden is about 5 miles west of Deal, in Kent. Across the CT13 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We serve in 922 places across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Heronden to Canterbury (about 9 miles away).
Close to Heronden are historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (2.7 miles west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. For guests coming by train, Sandwich station is about 3.1 miles away. The coast is within about 6 miles of Heronden, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.

How we price Mexican catering
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Heronden until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive

- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
