Catering an event in Blean
Blean is about 3 miles north-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT2 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Blean is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering.
A school such as Blean Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. The A290 run on or near Blean, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. Blean is within about 4 miles of the sea, 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 typically need permission from the council or landowner.
Here we cover the CT2 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Westfield, School Lane and Vicarage Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Mexican catering for your event in Blean
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. At garden parties and office lunches and team days, we can serve quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a hamlet or village like Blean, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter evenings in Blean close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Common questions in Blean
Will you travel to a small place like Blean?
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 Cosmus and St Damian?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
