About our Mexican party catering in Penshurst
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. It works well for naming days and christenings and family get-togethers, with burritos, tacos and guacamole and salsas.
A country party near Penshurst is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Penshurst
Is Penshurst close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for children?
It is popular with children, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas 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.
Is my garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a photo of the space.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Generally. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll include the options in your quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
What Mexican party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you need disposables
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help

- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
