Mexican catering in TN18: what to expect

We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits weddings and evening receptions and retirement and leaving parties, serving quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos.

We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests.

  1. Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
  2. We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
  3. Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
  4. At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
  5. When you are done, we pack away.

What you will pay

Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Catering events across TN18

Across TN18, we cater in 3 towns and 11 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Cranbrook, Hawkhurst and Baker's Cross to a quiet hamlet: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings. The High Weald National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN18, so check venue rules on vehicles, ground and access for countryside events.

Hawkhurst: Nearby historic houses include Great Dixter (5 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Thinking of an event in Collingwood Nature Reserve? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Winter evenings in Hawkhurst close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.

What Mexican catering costs

We quote for your event, which reflects:

  • How many guests we are serving
  • What the venue already provides
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • The length of service

Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

What to tell us

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
  • What you’d like on the menu

To get a price, just fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in TN18, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Space, access and the venue

Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:

  • A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
  • Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer

Is Mexican catering right for you?

Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings.

Comparing caterers

  • What happens if it rains
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • How late numbers can change
  • How many staff are serving, and for how long

Planning for every diet

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

  • Collect dietary needs when guests reply
  • Count children separately
  • Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
  • Tell us what other food is being served

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.

Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

Organising for someone else?

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
