Mexican catering for Lower Hartlip events
How our Mexican catering works in Lower Hartlip
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for fundraisers and school events and weddings, day or evening, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a rural place like Lower Hartlip, access is the main thing to plan: 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Mexican catering around Lower Hartlip
Lower Hartlip is about 3 miles south-east of Gillingham, in Kent. Across the ME9 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. We serve in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 19 miles away.
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Michael after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. A gathering in Foxburrow Wood would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

- How long we’re needed on site

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. 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. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Catering across Kent, including Lower Hartlip
- A plan agreed before the day
- Allergen information for every dish
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
