Mexican party catering in Headcorn
Mexican party catering in Headcorn, from our truck or trailer
Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and every plate goes out hot. For engagement and anniversary parties and naming days and christenings, we will put together a menu of burritos, tacos and guacamole and salsas for your guests.
Parties around Headcorn are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. December parties in Headcorn are dark from about 3:50pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Headcorn
Which station should guests use for Headcorn?
Guests can use Headcorn station, which is right in Headcorn.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's and St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Ask the venue about food trucks.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is Mexican party catering right for your party?
Unlike a barbecue, there’s no waiting for the next batch, and nobody is stuck at the grill. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
