About our Mexican catering in Paddock Wood
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. For festivals, fairs and markets and staff parties and office lunches, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burrito bowls and more.
In a smaller place like Paddock Wood, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations

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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
