Mexican catering for your event in Riverhead
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for fairs and festivals and garden parties.
There may be a hall or club near Riverhead if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Mexican catering around Riverhead
Riverhead is about 1 mile west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Riverhead or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 19 miles away.
Thinking of an event in Montreal Park? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Riverhead, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
Wherever your event is in TN13 and TN14, we can bring Mexican catering to you. Streets in the area include London Road, Hamlin Road and Witches Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out, while still being easy food most people enjoy. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Quoted for your event
- Service planned around your numbers
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen information for everything we serve

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In Riverhead, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Find out what power and water are available

Riverhead: your questions answered

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Montreal Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Riverhead?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
