How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.

We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Mexican street food in Hawkhurst, served fresh
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. Popular choices include quesadillas, vegan tacos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for food markets and open days and community events.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Hawkhurst can be a good fit for a taco truck. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What affects the price in Hawkhurst
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The menu you choose
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The date and rough timings
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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 a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A December market in Hawkhurst loses the light at about 3:55pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
