Mexican catering for Mountain Street events
Mexican catering in Mountain Street, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and quesadillas, which works well for office lunches and team days and christenings and family parties.
In a rural place like Mountain Street, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Mountain Street questions
How far is Mountain Street from central London?
It’s about 49 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
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.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
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.
Do you do a drinks 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’ll check that with you.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Mexican catering or something else?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A plan agreed before the day
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

Planning a food truck in Mountain Street
Mountain Street is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT4, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Mountain Street is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Mountain Street to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Chilham station, about 0.8 miles north-east. A gathering in Broadham Down would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Mountain Street, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
We cater events across CT4. If your venue is just outside Mountain Street, we also cover Chilham (1 mile north-east), Godmersham (1 mile south), Old Wives Lees (1 mile north), Shottenden (2 miles north-west) and Bilting (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (8 miles south-west), Canterbury (6 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (12 miles north-west), Folkestone (14 miles south-east), Whitstable (9 miles north) and Faversham (6 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Kent and Canterbury Hospital (5.7 miles east) and Chilham Castle (under half a mile north).
- Pubs nearby include Woolpack Inn (0.5 miles north)
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
