How our Mexican catering works in Swanscombe
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls, which works well for christenings and family parties and staff parties and office lunches.
In a smaller place like Swanscombe, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
How we price Mexican catering
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Occasions we cater for in Swanscombe
Mexican street food suits almost any crowd: it is familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We’re happy to cater:
- Festivals, fairs and markets
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Birthday parties
- Weddings and evening receptions
Thinking of an event in Castle Hill Park? Public parks normally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
What your quote should include
- VAT, if it applies
- The venue requirements
- How each diet is kept separate
- How long the service runs
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Give us separate numbers for children
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Swanscombe
How far is Swanscombe from central London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Could you serve in Castle Hill Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. A school such as Knockhall Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. In Swanscombe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
