Mexican catering in Lenham, from our food truck or trailer
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, which works well for birthday parties and retirement and leaving parties.
Around Lenham, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Common questions in Lenham
How far is Lenham from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Is it possible to have you in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you come to Lenham?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Lenham and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside, cut into wedges.
Mexican catering or something else?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Taco catering in Lenham: local tips
Lenham is about 7 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Lenham will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We cater in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Lenham to Canterbury (about 16 miles away).
Parks such as Kiln Wood typically need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. Historic houses near Lenham include Leeds Castle (3.6 miles west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Lenham. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We serve at events all over ME17. Whether your event is on High Street, Mitchell Close and Hatch Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. If your venue is just outside Lenham, we also cover Leadingcross Green (1 mile south), Woodside Green (1 mile north-east), West Street (1 mile north-east), Lenham Forstal (2 miles south-east) and Lenham Heath (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (8 miles west), Ashford (9 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (7 miles north), Faversham (9 miles north-east), Minster (13 miles north) and Kings Hill (13 miles west).

What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Space for guests to queue
- 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.

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December event in Lenham will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Perfect for your event in Lenham
You don’t need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Engagement celebrations
- Christenings and family parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Lenham Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
