Mexican catering for Lower Hardres events
Common questions in Lower Hardres
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Mexican catering in Lower Hardres, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. For engagement celebrations and school fairs and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.

What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
