Why choose Mexican catering in Orlestone?
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Engagement celebrations
- Festivals, fairs and markets

Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready.

About our Mexican catering in Orlestone
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. For leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Orlestone, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar

Orlestone is about 4 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Orlestone or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Catering for every guest
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Include at least one vegan filling
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Comparing your options
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- Book food, drinks or both
- Menus chosen with you
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Orlestone until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Orlestone: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Orlestone?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you cover Orlestone?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Orlestone is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
