Your questions about Mexican catering in Lordswood
Can you cater a reception after a service at St David's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Why choose Mexican catering in Lordswood?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Perfect for your event in Lordswood
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Charity and school events

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Lordswood until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
