Mexican catering for Strood events
Mexican catering in Strood, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It suits garden get-togethers and milestone birthdays, with fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and tacos.
For a rural spot like Strood, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
FAQs for Strood
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mary: 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.
Do you come to events in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you cover Strood?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Strood and the rest of Kent. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

From late May to late September, sunset in Strood moves from about 8:45pm to 7:00pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
