Mexican catering for your event in Lynsted
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our food truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. On the menu are burritos, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for weddings and evening receptions and garden parties.
Somewhere like Lynsted, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Questions from Lynsted
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Comparing your options
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Lynsted: venues, access and local tips

We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
A school such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Lynsted, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
