How our Mexican catering works in Plaxtol
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Plaxtol: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there is safe access. For office lunches and team days and markets and community events, we can serve loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls and more.
In a hamlet or village like Plaxtol, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Evenings in Plaxtol stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- 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.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Questions from Plaxtol
Which station should guests use for Plaxtol?
Guests can use Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.4 miles north of Plaxtol.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
