Lyminge questions
Will you travel to a small place like Lyminge?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater at coastal events near Lyminge?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
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 will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Mexican catering or something else?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Taco catering in Lyminge: local tips
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Events in Lyminge are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Lyminge to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
Around Lyminge, historic houses include Acrise Place (2.1 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (3.4 miles south-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Lyminge Church of England Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Lyminge, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
This part of Kent takes in CT18. Local streets include Church Road, Station Road and Silverlands Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. For events just outside Lyminge, we cover Ottinge (1 mile north-east), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (1 mile west), Etchinghill (1 mile south) and Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (10 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (9 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Deal (15 miles north-east) and Hythe (4 miles south).

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Lyminge, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight.
