Questions from Luddesdown
Do you cater in villages like Luddesdown?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you serve in Camer Park Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you come to Luddesdown?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Luddesdown is within our area and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
