About our Mexican catering in Appledore
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Appledore and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. For big birthday celebrations and fairs and festivals, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a hamlet or village like Appledore, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Appledore: your questions answered
How far is Appledore from central London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cover Appledore?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Appledore and across Kent. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
What guest numbers do you cater for?

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
- Whether you need disposables
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Catering an event in Appledore
Appledore is about 8 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN26, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. We cater in 922 places across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Appledore to Canterbury (about 21 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Smallhythe Place (3.9 miles west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Appledore (Kent) station, about 1.3 miles east. The coast is within about 6 miles of Appledore, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in TN26, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on The Street, Old Way and Court Lodge Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Appledore, we also cover Appledore Heath (1 mile north), Stone in Oxney (1 mile south-west), Reading Street (2 miles west), Stone Corner (3 miles west) and Brattle (3 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (8 miles north-east), Hythe (13 miles east), Tenterden (5 miles north-west), Kennington (10 miles north-east), New Romney (7 miles south-east) and Staplehurst (14 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Brenzett Aeronautical Museum (3.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Appledore includes Orlestone Forest.
Where the truck can go in Appledore
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

What else we do in Appledore
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
