About our Mexican catering in Dover
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, which works well for birthday parties and retirement and leaving parties.
In Dover, an event with a food truck typically means a garden with drive access, a hall or club with a car park, or a hired venue. Each can work, as long as the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:

Your questions about Mexican catering in Dover
How far is Dover from London?
It’s about 65 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater at coastal events near Dover?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
