Mexican catering in Rusthall
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How our Mexican catering works in Rusthall
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. It works well for birthday parties and weddings, day or evening, with loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
There may be a hall or club near Rusthall if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Rusthall: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church Centre?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. We also need room for a queue.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- The menu you choose
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
