DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Mexican catering for your event in Ryarsh
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for fairs and festivals and charity and school events, serving burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Ryarsh, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

Why choose Mexican catering in Ryarsh?
Food is cooked to order and served hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We are happy to cater:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Summer garden parties
- Charity and school events
- Leaving parties
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Ryarsh Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:

What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Ryarsh until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- 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.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Ryarsh
Which station should guests use for Ryarsh?
West Malling station, about 1.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
