Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
About our Mexican catering in Out Elmstead
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Out Elmstead: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, and it suits big birthday celebrations and charity and school events.
Somewhere like Out Elmstead, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Out Elmstead questions
Which station is closest to Out Elmstead?
Guests can use Aylesham station, about 2.4 miles east of Out Elmstead.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you before the day.

Yes, we do. Out Elmstead is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
