Mexican catering for your event in Ickham
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At engagement celebrations and office lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, burritos and tacos for your guests.
In a small place like Ickham, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Ickham: your questions answered
How far is Ickham from central London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Ickham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How is the food prepared?
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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What space do you need?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Where the truck can go in Ickham
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- The address or venue name
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field

Planning a food truck in Ickham
Ickham is about 4 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Ickham and nearby villages. Ickham is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering.
A school such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one.
Mexican catering in CT3 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. From The Street, School Lane and Baye Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Wickhambreaux (1 mile north), Seaton (1 mile north-east), Littlebourne (1 mile west), Bramling (1 mile south-east) and Bekesbourne (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (4 miles west), Margate (11 miles north-east), Dover (11 miles south-east), Folkestone (13 miles south), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (12 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Canterbury Castle (4.7 miles west) and St Martins Hospital (3.3 miles west).
- Local pubs include The Rose Inn (0.5 miles north)
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A December event in Ickham will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
