Mexican catering for your event in Reculver
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Reculver: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. It suits office lunches and team days and weddings, day or evening, with burritos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Reculver, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

Common questions in Reculver
Do you cater in villages like Reculver?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cover Reculver?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Reculver and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone normally ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Planning a food truck in Reculver
Reculver is about 3 miles east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Reculver will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Reculver to Canterbury (about 8 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like St Mary's Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Thinking of an event in Bishopstone Cliffs? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Mexican catering in CT6 is planned around your venue and access and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Reculver Lane and Cherry Blossom Drive or the roads around them. For events just outside Reculver, we cover Bishopstone (1 mile west), Hillborough (1 mile south-west), Hawthorn (2 miles south-west), Beltinge (2 miles west) and Highstead (2 miles south-west).

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, with allergen information for every dish.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
