Event catering near Boxley
Boxley is about 3 miles north of Maidstone, in Kent. From the centre of Boxley to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Boxley is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Boxley to Canterbury (23 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Sandling Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What affects the price in Boxley
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we are needed on site

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. For an evening event in Boxley, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; beyond that, ask the organiser how the site will be lit.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
