Catering an event in Puddledock
Puddledock is about 1 mile north of Swanley, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Puddledock and nearby villages. We serve in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Puddledock to London (about 13 miles away).
By rail: Swanley station is about 1.8 miles away. Guests leaving a church like St Peter after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Puddledock, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.

About our Mexican catering in Puddledock
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and fundraisers and school events, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and tacos and more.
In a hamlet or village like Puddledock, 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 serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Puddledock
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Dartford Heath?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How far is Puddledock from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
How we price Mexican catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- How many staff you need
- Food, drinks or both
- What’s on the menu
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Puddledock until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
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.
