Taco catering in Key's Green: local tips
Key's Green is about 4 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. We bring Mexican catering to gardens, halls and venues around Key's Green and nearby villages. Key's Green is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Key's Green to Brighton (about 30 miles away).
Thinking of an event in Brenchley Wood? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Chapel Of Ease Of St Luke, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Venues in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Key's Green, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
We cater events across the TN12 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Cryals Road and Beech Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover events in Lamberhurst Quarter (1 mile south), Petteridge (1 mile north-east), Pembury (2 miles north-west), Matfield (2 miles north-east) and Brenchley (2 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Maidstone (12 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (13 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (4 miles west), Tonbridge (6 miles north-west), Kings Hill (10 miles north) and Foley Park (13 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Pembury Hospital (2.4 miles north-west) and Old Scotney Castle (3.7 miles south-east). Not far away are Bewl Water and Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Blue Boys Inn (under half a mile west)
How our Mexican catering works in Key's Green
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. At family celebrations and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and quesadillas for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Key's Green, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Key's Green: your questions answered
How far is Key's Green from London?
It is about 32 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald 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.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Count children separately
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
