Working with your venue
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 will work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How our Mexican catering works in Strood
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. For leaving parties and garden parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos.
Gardens in Strood range from small patios to big lawns, and the key question is whether the truck or trailer can reach them. A drive, a side gate or a car park next door can all help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
What Mexican catering costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:

What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Can I do a taco night myself?

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Common questions in Strood
We are having a ceremony at St Francis' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
How far is Strood from central London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
