Mexican party catering for Hartley events
Mexican party catering in Hartley, from our food truck or trailer
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat while you mingle. It works well for graduation and exam-results parties and leaving dos and retirements, serving guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos.
Country parties near Hartley 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.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Throwing a late-May party in Hartley? The sun sets at about 8:50pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Margaritas and Mexican beer from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

Common questions in Hartley
How far is Hartley from London?
It is about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Crane Valley?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
We quote for each party, depending on numbers, menu and where you are. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Hartley?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.

Nearby historic houses include Scotney Castle (4.4 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
