Mexican catering in Matfield, from our food truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for markets and community events and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Matfield, 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. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Matfield: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Matfield for guests?
Guests can use Paddock Wood station, about 2.1 miles north of Matfield.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater for big events?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will talk licensing through with you.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using 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.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with tortillas kept warm. Everyone builds their own.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.

If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Thinking of an event in Brenchley Wood?
