Mexican catering in Elham
How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Elham until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- 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.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

How our Mexican catering works in Elham
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it suits leaving dos and retirement parties and company summer parties.
For a rural spot like Elham, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Should I do it myself?
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Taco catering in Elham: local tips
Elham is about 5 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent. Events in Elham are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Elham to Canterbury (9 miles away).
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Elham Church of England Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about a mile of Elham, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. Elham is within about 6 miles of the sea, 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.
This part of Kent takes in CT4, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on High Street, Pound Lane and Vicarage Lane or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover events in Swingfield Minnis (2 miles east), Densole (3 miles south-east), Selsted (3 miles east), Breach (3 miles north-east) and Lodge Lees (3 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (11 miles west), Canterbury (9 miles north), Dover (8 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Whitstable (14 miles north) and Deal (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Victoria Hospital (5.3 miles south-east) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (3.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Cheriton Hill.
- Nearby, you’ll find The King's Arms (within half a mile north-east)
