DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican catering in Luddesdown, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for leaving parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Luddesdown, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Count children separately
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Luddesdown
Could you serve in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater in Luddesdown?
We do. We serve at events in Luddesdown and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
