How our Mexican catering works in Buttsole
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for birthday parties and weddings, day or evening, with quesadillas, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Buttsole, 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 plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Planning an evening event in Buttsole? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Getting ready for the day

Buttsole questions
How far is Buttsole from central London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
Perfect for your event in Buttsole
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
Here are some of the events we cater around Buttsole:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Markets and community events
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Christenings and family parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
What to look for in a quote
- Space, access, power and water needs
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The deposit and payment dates
- VAT, if it applies
Comparing your options
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put any allergies in writing for us
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Planning a food truck in Buttsole
Buttsole is about 4 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Buttsole, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Buttsole. Buttsole is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Buttsole to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that Sandwich station is about 2.5 miles away. A school such as Eastry Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Anywhere in CT13 and CT14, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Mill Lane, Liss Road and High Street or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. If your venue is just outside Buttsole, we also cover Eastry (1 mile north), Ham (1 mile east), Statenborough (1 mile north-east), Marley (2 miles east) and Felderland (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (10 miles west), Margate (10 miles north), Dover (7 miles south), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (10 miles north-east).
A little further out are The Precinct Toy Collection (2.8 miles north-east) and Sandown Castle (4.1 miles east). Not far away are Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Schools near Buttsole include Sandwich Technology School (2 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Five Bells pub (less than half a mile north)
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
