Mexican party catering for your party in Lydden
A build-your-own taco bar is ideal for a party: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. At birthday parties and big family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos and more.
Country parties near Lydden suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. For a winter party in Lydden, it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.

Lydden questions
Do you come to events 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 Sladden Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you supply plates?
Ask us when you enquire, and we’ll set out what we can do in the quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.

We are set up before guests arrive, so food is ready when you want it.

Space, access and the venue

- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
