Mexican catering in Lenham Forstal, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. 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. We serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, which works well for markets and community events and charity and school events.
For a rural spot like Lenham Forstal, 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’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Perfect for your event in Lenham Forstal

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Lenham Forstal: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Lenham Forstal?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.

What if it rains?

Diets, allergies and planning

- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
