Mixed ages and mixed diets are easy. Quesadillas suit children, and we plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information for every dish. For summer garden parties and retirement and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos for your guests.
Parties around Preston are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Common questions in Preston
Which station is closest to Preston?
Guests can use Faversham station, which is right in Preston.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Catherine's Church?
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 will check the access.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
It depends on the access and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we will confirm.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A party in Preston in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

Planning for every diet

- Make sure most people can sit to eat
We are set up before guests arrive, so food is ready when you want it.

Comparing your options
Pizza vans are popular, but most parties have had one. Tacos and nachos feel a little different. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Why us?
