Mexican catering in Sheerness, from our truck or trailer
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and school fairs and fundraisers, with quesadillas, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
A place like Sheerness may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Why choose Mexican catering in Sheerness?
You don’t need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Sheerness and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Big birthday celebrations
- Summer garden parties
- Leaving parties
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal.

How it compares
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
