Party venues around Petteridge
Petteridge is about 5 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. For Mexican party catering in Petteridge, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Petteridge. Petteridge is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 31 miles away.
Around Petteridge, historic houses include Scotney Castle (3.8 miles south). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Parks such as Brenchley Wood usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. For a party in the countryside, the High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
This part of Kent takes in TN12, and we can cater your party anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Petteridge Lane, Porters Close and Tibbs Court Lane, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at parties in Matfield (1 mile north-west), Brenchley (1 mile north-east), Key's Green (1 mile south-west), Lamberhurst Quarter (2 miles south-west) and Colt's Hill (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (10 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (13 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (5 miles west), Tonbridge (6 miles north-west), Kings Hill (9 miles north) and Foley Park (11 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Tunbridge Wells Hospital (3.2 miles west) and Finchcocks Musical Museum (3.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve.

About our Mexican party catering in Petteridge
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free options for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you first. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos, and it is a good fit for big birthdays and anniversaries and engagement parties.
In a small place like Petteridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan around it. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it’s light in Petteridge until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.

Common questions in Petteridge
How far is Petteridge from central London?
About 32 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at Ebenezer Church (Matfield): can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We’ll check availability for you.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling and fresh toppings, served hot from the truck or trailer.
Salsas and guacamole
Guests add as much salsa as they like.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
