About our Mexican catering in Sholden Meadows
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Sholden Meadows: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. At summer garden parties and festivals, fairs and markets, we can serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos and more.
In a small place like Sholden Meadows, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Sholden Meadows questions
Could you serve in Betteshanger Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Sholden Meadows for guests?
Guests can use Deal station, about 1.3 miles east of Sholden Meadows.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.

When do you arrive?

Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
