Mexican catering for your event in Dungeness
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For family celebrations and milestone birthdays, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
Somewhere like Dungeness, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Mexican catering or something else?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Service planned around your numbers
- We cover Dungeness and the whole of Kent
- Allergen information for everything we serve

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. In Dungeness, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
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.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
