We quote for your event, which reflects:

Mexican party catering in Elham, served fresh
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. On the menu are quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, which works well for birthday parties and street and neighbourhood parties.
Country parties near Elham suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
Crisp quesadillas, cut into wedges.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling and fresh toppings, served from the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
- Measure your gate or driveway
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
When you are ready to eat, we start serving.
Nachos for sharing while the party gets going.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Where the truck can go in Elham
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Space for guests to queue
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.

What else we do in Elham
Elham: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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’ll check the access.
Is Elham close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Occasions we cater for in Elham
It suits most celebrations, from a first birthday to a ruby wedding.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends.

- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
