Mexican party catering for Stocker's Head events
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A party in Stocker's Head in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.

Questions from Stocker's Head
Do you cater 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.
How far is Stocker's Head from central London?
It is about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

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.
