About our Mexican catering in Knatts Valley
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for leaving parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
For a rural spot like Knatts Valley, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Catering an event in Knatts Valley
Knatts Valley is about 4 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Knatts Valley.

Close to Knatts Valley are historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (2.8 miles north-west) and Knole House (5 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. When the service is at a church such as Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Knatts Valley, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
This part of Kent takes in TN15, so your event can be anywhere in it.

Which station should guests use for Knatts Valley?

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
