Mexican catering for Penshurst events
For event organisers in Penshurst
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Mexican catering in Penshurst, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits milestone birthdays and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
In a hamlet or village like Penshurst, 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.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Penshurst
Which station should guests use for Penshurst?
Guests can use Penshurst station, about 1.8 miles north of Penshurst.
Do you come out to small places like Penshurst?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Planning a food truck in Penshurst
Penshurst is about 5 miles north-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Penshurst will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Penshurst is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 26 miles away.
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Nearby historic houses include Penshurst Place (less than half a mile north-east) and Chiddingstone Castle (1.8 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one.
Mexican catering in TN11 is planned around your venue and access and timings. Streets in the area include High Street, The Warren and Beckets Field, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Chiddingstone Hoath (2 miles west), Walter's Green (2 miles south), Chiddingstone Causeway (2 miles north), Fordcombe (2 miles south) and Teasley Mead (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Sevenoaks (8 miles north), Royal Tunbridge Wells (5 miles south-east), Tonbridge (5 miles north-east), Kings Hill (12 miles north-east), Paddock Wood (9 miles east) and Southborough (4 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (4.2 miles east) and Chiddingstone Castle (1.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Penshurst includes Broadwater Warren RSPB Reserve and Barden Lake.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Leicester Arms Hotel (under half a mile north-east)

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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 will do the serving.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December event in Penshurst will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.

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, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
