About our Mexican catering in Folkestone
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It works well for festivals, fairs and markets and christenings and family parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos.
Gardens in Folkestone range from small patios to big lawns, and the key question is whether the truck or trailer can reach them. A drive, a side gate or a car park next door can all help. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Catering an event in Folkestone
Folkestone is in Kent. From the centre of Folkestone to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Folkestone to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
For a christening or wedding at a church such as United Reformed Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. By road, Folkestone is on or near the A259 and A260, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Folkestone, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking. Folkestone is within about a mile 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.
We cater events across the CT20, CT19 and CT21 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Christ Church Road, Middelburg Square and Station Road or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. Main roads around Folkestone include the A259 and A260, which makes travel to your event easy. For events just outside Folkestone, we cover Cheriton (1 mile west), Sandgate (1 mile south-west), Hawkinge (2 miles north), Arpinge (2 miles north-west) and Seabrook (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (14 miles west), Canterbury (14 miles north), Dover (7 miles north-east), Deal (13 miles north-east), Hythe (4 miles west) and Tower Hamlets (7 miles north-east). Being one of Kent’s larger places, Folkestone has plenty of venues and spaces for events.
A little further out are Folkestone Museum (0.7 miles south-east) and Folkestone Castle (1 mile north). Green spaces nearby include Sugar Loaf Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Harvey Grammar School (within half a mile west) and The Folkestone Academy (0.5 miles north)
- Nearby, you will find The Park Inn Hotel (less than half a mile south-east)
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Winter evenings in Folkestone close in by about 3:50pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.

Common questions in Folkestone
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at United Reformed Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
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.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Folkestone?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
