Mexican catering in Lower Upnor, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. Popular choices include loaded nachos, tacos and burritos, and it is a good fit for engagement and anniversary parties and retirement and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Lower Upnor, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
FAQs for Lower Upnor
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Philip & St James?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Upnor for guests?
Strood station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
For event organisers in Lower Upnor
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
