Mexican catering in Upton, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It suits christenings and family parties and garden get-togethers, serving a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
Around Upton, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A December event in Upton will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you are done, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose Mexican catering in Upton?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What you get with us
- A menu built around your guests
- We cover Upton and the whole of Kent
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Your questions about Mexican catering in Upton
Could you serve our guests after a service at Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle?
