Questions from Hempstead
What’s the nearest station to Hempstead for guests?
The closest is Rainham (Kent) station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you park at my house?
Normally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that’s wide and tall enough. Send us a picture of the space.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy it, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
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 plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Who books Mexican party catering in Hempstead?
The food is served hot from the hatch, even when the party is outdoors.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Hempstead can book us for events such as:
- Graduation and exam-results parties
- Family get-togethers
- Street and neighbourhood parties
- Retirement and leaving parties
Parks such as South Wood usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, if it applies
- Payment terms and deposit
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- How each diet is kept separate
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Where the truck can go in Hempstead
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Comparing your options
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. A taco truck stands out. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
