Comparing your options
Leaving guests to bring their own is easy but unpredictable. A bar gives every guest a drink in hand, including non-drinkers. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Hockenden questions
Will you travel to a small place like Hockenden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Hockenden from central London?
It is about 13 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater in Hockenden?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hockenden and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Drinks planning tips
To get the most from the bar, it helps to:
- Serve food alongside the drinks
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Think about how guests get home
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
We serve responsibly: under-18s aren’t served alcohol, and nor is anyone who has had too much.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas for all ages.

A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Hockenden can book us for occasions like:

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
