About our Mexican catering in Manston
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It works well for fundraisers and school events and weddings, day or evening, with a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Manston, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Manston until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Common questions in Manston
Is it possible to have you in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Will you travel to a small place like Manston?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Why choose Mexican catering in Manston?
A food truck gives guests somewhere to gather, and people drift over as soon as service starts.
