Mexican catering in Stanford
Mexican catering for your event in Stanford
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. We serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, which works well for leaving parties and school fairs and fundraisers.
In a hamlet or village like Stanford, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Stanford
We are having a ceremony at All Saints Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Stanford for guests?
Westenhanger station, in Stanford itself.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Stanford is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Daylight in Stanford runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. 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.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Catering an event in Stanford
Stanford is about 3 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Stanford or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Stanford to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that Westenhanger station is in Stanford itself. Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Acrise Place (4.8 miles north-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Stanford, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking. Coastal events near Stanford, which is within about 3 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we’ll check access.
Here we cover the TN25 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Stone Street and Kennett Lane or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. If your venue is just outside Stanford, we also cover Postling (1 mile north-east), Sellindge (2 miles west), Moorstock (2 miles north-west), Skeete (2 miles north-east) and Woodland (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (8 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (12 miles east), Folkestone (6 miles east), Hythe (3 miles south-east) and Tower Hamlets (11 miles east).
A little further out are Hythe Museum (2.9 miles south-east) and Royal Victoria Hospital (5.8 miles east). The countryside around Stanford includes Hatch Park and Tolsford Hill.
What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What power and water the site has
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Planning the serving area
