Mexican catering in Grove, from our food truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At big birthday celebrations and engagement celebrations, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos and more.
In a rural place like Grove, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning a food truck in Grove
Grove is about 5 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Grove, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Grove. Grove is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Grove to Canterbury (6 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Sturry station, about 3.8 miles west. Historic houses near Grove include Goodnestone Park (4.7 miles south). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Grove 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 typically need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of Kent takes in CT3, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater events in Preston (1 mile south-east), Upstreet (1 mile north), West Stourmouth (1 mile north-east), East Stourmouth (2 miles east) and Sarre (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (6 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (8 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (4.9 miles south-west).
- Nearby, you will find The Grove Ferry Inn (0.9 miles north)
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Count children separately
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Mexican catering or something else?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- Allergen information for every dish
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A plan agreed before the day
Why choose Mexican catering in Grove?

Here are some of the events we cater around Grove:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Garden parties
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Fairs and festivals
Before you pencil in Grove Ferry Picnic Area, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement.

- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- What power and water the site has
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Grove, 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.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
