How our Mexican catering works in Bluetown
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It suits birthday parties and school fairs and fundraisers, with loaded nachos, tacos and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Bluetown, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
FAQs for Bluetown
Is it possible to have you in Cromers Wood?

What’s the nearest station to Bluetown for guests?
Sittingbourne station, about 3.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How much does Mexican catering cost?

How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The menu, item by item
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
