Planning an event in Farthingloe?
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Mexican catering for your event in Farthingloe
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits staff parties and office lunches and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Farthingloe, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Common questions in Farthingloe
Is Farthingloe close to London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
About the menu
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Comparing your options
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Take a look at how we price or what Mexican catering costs.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Food, drinks or both
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning a food truck in Farthingloe
Farthingloe is about 2 miles south-west of Dover, in Kent. For an event in Farthingloe, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Farthingloe to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
Thinking of an event in Whinless Down? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Aycliffe Community Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Farthingloe, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. Farthingloe is within about 2 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 generally need permission from the council or landowner.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
