Speldhurst: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Will you travel to a small place like Speldhurst?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What Mexican catering costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
