About our Mexican catering in Pootings
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and retirement and leaving parties, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
In a rural place like Pootings, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Pootings
Is Pootings close to London?
It is about 20 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What’s the nearest station to Pootings for guests?
Guests can use Edenbridge station, about 1.4 miles south-west of Pootings.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much will it cost?
Every event is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What affects the price in Pootings

Getting an accurate quote

- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

Catering an event in Pootings

We cater right across the region, from Pootings to London (about 20 miles away).

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Pootings until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
