Mexican catering near Kingsgate
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
How our Mexican catering works in Kingsgate
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It works well for office lunches and team days and birthday parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
In a rural place like Kingsgate, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Kingsgate: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Kingsgate?
The closest is Broadstairs station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Philip?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
What space do you need?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put any allergies in writing for us

Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.

- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
