Questions from Upper Hartfield
Which station should guests use for Upper Hartfield?
Guests can use Ashurst Kent station, about 3.7 miles north-east of Upper Hartfield.
How far is Upper Hartfield from central London?
It’s about 29 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
About our Mexican catering in Upper Hartfield
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At big birthday celebrations and office lunches and team days, we can serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Upper Hartfield, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Space for guests to queue
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
Questions to ask before booking
- Allergen information for each dish
- A clear list of what’s included
- The deposit and payment dates

Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us what other food is being served
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- The number of people

- Distance and access to the venue
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name

About the menu
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are simple and comforting.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. In Upper Hartfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
