Mexican catering for Hicks Forstal events
Mexican catering in Hicks Forstal, served fresh
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Hicks Forstal: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos, which works well for charity and school events and big birthday celebrations.
Somewhere like Hicks Forstal, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.

Before you choose a spot

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Include at least one vegan filling
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Catering an event in Hicks Forstal
Hicks Forstal is about 2 miles south of Herne Bay, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Hicks Forstal, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Hicks Forstal is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
Parks such as Curtis Wood generally need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Spires Academy, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
