About our Mexican catering in Southfleet
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. For christenings and family parties and retirement and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Southfleet, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What power and water the site has

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. From late May to late September, sunset in Southfleet moves from about 8:50pm to 7:00pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Southfleet questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Longfield Chalk Bank?
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 will send what they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Southfleet?
The closest is Longfield station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
