Mexican catering in Ightham, served fresh
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for milestone birthdays and summer garden parties, serving burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a small place like Ightham, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book Mobile Mexican Catering in Ightham

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
