Mexican catering for Highstead events
Highstead questions
How far is Highstead from central London?
It’s about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you serve near the sea around Highstead?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Mexican catering in Highstead, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. We serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, and it suits family celebrations and markets and community events.
Somewhere as small as Highstead, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Mexican catering around Highstead
Highstead is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Highstead or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Highstead to Canterbury (7 miles away).
A gathering in Bishopstone Cliffs would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. By rail: Herne Bay station is about 2.7 miles away. Highstead is within about 3 miles of the sea, 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 generally need permission from the council or landowner.

Close by, we cover events in Hawthorn (1 mile north), Boyden Gate (1 mile south-east), Millbank (1 mile south-west), Old Tree (1 mile south) and Hillborough (1 mile north).
