Mexican catering in Knave's Ash, served fresh
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. Popular choices include quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for family celebrations and charity and school events.
In a rural place like Knave's Ash, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Common questions in Knave's Ash
How far is Knave's Ash from central London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Knave's Ash for guests?
Guests can use Herne Bay station, about 2.6 miles north-west of Knave's Ash.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
Where the truck can go in Knave's Ash
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Knave's Ash: venues, access and local tips
Knave's Ash is about 2 miles south of Herne Bay, in Kent. From the centre of Knave's Ash to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Knave's Ash is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of the Holy Cross, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Hoath Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Knave's Ash is within about 3 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.
We cater events across the CT3 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Hicks Forstal Road and Hoath Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. We also serve at events in Hoath (1 mile east), Maypole (1 mile north-east), Old Tree (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile north-east) and Hicks Forstal (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (5 miles south-west), Margate (10 miles east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Ramsgate (11 miles east), Broadstairs (12 miles east) and Whitstable (5 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (4.4 miles south-west). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Schools near Knave's Ash include Spires Academy (1.6 miles south)
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- Timings and hours
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Knave's Ash, 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. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.

- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
