Mexican catering in Ivy Hatch, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and quesadillas, which works well for staff parties and office lunches and family celebrations.
In a small place like Ivy Hatch, events are generally 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 the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
