Planning an event in Lower Hartlip?
Working with your venue

Mexican party catering in Lower Hartlip, from our truck or trailer
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. Our truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. It suits christenings and naming days and big birthdays, serving a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos.
Country parties near Lower Hartlip suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Let the neighbours know
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Add a diet question to the invitation
At food time, we open the hatch, while you enjoy your guests.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
FAQs for Lower Hartlip
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is it possible to have you in Foxburrow Wood?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cover Lower Hartlip?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lower Hartlip. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Normally, if there’s outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Ask the venue about food trucks.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
