Mexican catering for your event in Lunsford
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos, and it is a good fit for engagement and anniversary parties and school fairs and fundraisers.
There may be a hall or club near Lunsford if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planning a food truck in Lunsford

Step by step
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. In Lunsford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Let us know about any other food at the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Lunsford questions
Which station is closest to Lunsford?
New Hythe station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
How far is Lunsford from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Do you come to Lunsford?
We do. We serve at events in Lunsford and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
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 can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
