Mexican catering near Aldington
Mexican catering in Aldington, from our food truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. For retirement and leaving parties and christenings and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Aldington, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. Daylight in Aldington runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Aldington: venues, access and local tips

We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (3.9 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. Before you pencil in Poulton Wood, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Aldington, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Aldington
Do you come out to small places like Aldington?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Are plates and napkins included?

Comparing your options
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
