How our Mexican catering works in Hoo
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. It works well for leaving parties and company summer parties, with burrito bowls, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Hoo, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Hoo: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Hoo?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saint Mary the Virgin?
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 will check the access.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you cater for big events?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Hoo.

Occasions we cater for in Hoo
Mexican street food suits almost any crowd: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Weddings, day or evening
- Milestone birthdays
- Charity and school events
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Monkton Church of England Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
What to look for in a quote
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Whether VAT is included
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- What the price includes, item by item
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Hoo stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
