Mexican catering for Tovil events
How our Mexican catering works in Tovil
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. On the menu are burrito bowls, burritos and quesadillas, and it suits fairs and festivals and family gatherings and christenings.
In and around Tovil, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar

Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Tovil: venues, access and local tips
Tovil is about 1 mile west of Maidstone, in Kent. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Tovil and nearby villages. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 25 miles away.
Around Tovil, historic houses include Stoneacre (3.1 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. Before you pencil in River Len LNR, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Tovil, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.

How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Tovil until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
