How our Mexican catering works in Broadstairs
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for engagement celebrations and leaving parties.
There are lots of options in a town like Broadstairs: your own garden or drive, a club or hall with a car park, or a venue nearby. We’ll check the spot and the route in with you before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Perfect for your event in Broadstairs

Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Broadstairs, you could book us for events such as:
- Fundraisers and school events

Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Count children separately
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for guests to queue
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. The coast is within about 2 miles of Broadstairs, 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.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Broadstairs
Could you come to a seaside event near Broadstairs?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What Mexican catering costs
