Mexican catering in Northfleet
The menu, item by item

Mexican catering for your event in Northfleet
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It suits weddings, day or evening and school fairs and fundraisers, with loaded nachos, burritos and tacos.
There are lots of options in a town like Northfleet: a drive, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We’ll check the spot and the route in with you before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Northfleet, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Space for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Common questions in Northfleet
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station should guests use for Northfleet?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 1 mile away.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
