Taco catering in Herne Bay: local tips
Herne Bay is about 7 miles north of Canterbury, in Kent. From the centre of Herne Bay to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Herne Bay is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, Herne Bay station is about 0.7 miles away. Guests leaving a church like Christ Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Herne Bay 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 usually need permission from the council or landowner.
Mexican catering in CT6 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, Viscount Square and Market Street. You will find Herne Bay on the A299 and B2205, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer.

Herne Bay: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Herne Bay for guests?
Guests can use Herne Bay station, about 0.7 miles west of Herne Bay.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What does Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone generally ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
