Mexican party catering near Lydd
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A summer party in Lydd stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.

Mexican party catering in Lydd, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle and there’s no need for a seating plan. It suits summer garden parties and new-home celebrations, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and guacamole and salsas.
In a place like Lydd, a garden party is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive, gates and parking, and we will plan the rest. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Lydd: your questions answered
Is Lydd close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at All Saints Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
How much does Mexican party catering cost in Lydd?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Generally, 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 need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Mexican party catering or something else?
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. Tacos and nachos feel a little different. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A picture of the drive or garden helps us check the space
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
