Why choose Mexican catering in Teston?
Mixed diets are easy to plan for, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Company summer parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Weddings, day or evening
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The venue requirements
- VAT, if it applies
- Any travel, parking or access charges
About our Mexican catering in Teston
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. It suits wedding breakfasts and evening food and birthday parties, with loaded nachos, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Teston, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Mexican catering around Teston
Teston is about 4 miles west of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Teston to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Teston is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Teston to Canterbury (28 miles away).
A gathering in Quarry Wood would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. A school such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
Mexican catering in ME18 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. From The Street, Courtlands and Church Street or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. We also serve at events in Red Hill (1 mile north-west), West Farleigh (1 mile south-east), Wateringbury (1 mile west), Barming Heath (1 mile east) and Hoppers Corner (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (4 miles east), Sittingbourne (14 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (11 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles south-west), Gravesend (12 miles north) and Tonbridge (8 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Oakwood Hospital (2.1 miles north-east) and Teapot Island (2.6 miles south-west).
- Local schools include The Malling School (2.4 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Wateringbury pub (0.7 miles west)

- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day

Questions from Teston
What’s the nearest station to Teston for guests?
Guests can use Wateringbury station, about 0.9 miles south-west of Teston.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you cover Teston?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Teston and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A plan agreed before the day

What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Teston until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
