Mexican catering for South Darenth events
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.
Mexican catering in South Darenth, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for leaving dos and retirement parties and family celebrations.
Somewhere like South Darenth, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
South Darenth: venues, access and local tips

South Darenth is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from South Darenth to London (about 16 miles away).
A school such as Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in South Darenth until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Comparing caterers?

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.

It depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
