Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

How our Mexican catering works in Horton Kirby
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It works well for milestone birthdays and garden parties, with quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
In a hamlet or village like Horton Kirby, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
What affects the price in Horton Kirby
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- What power and water the site has
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

Close to Horton Kirby are historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (3.2 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Questions from Horton Kirby
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of Saint Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cover Horton Kirby?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Horton Kirby. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
