About the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
Mexican catering in Marley, served fresh
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For weddings, day or evening and christenings and family parties, we can serve burrito bowls, tacos and burritos.
Somewhere like Marley, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

What else we do in Marley
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning a food truck in Marley
Marley is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Events in Marley are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Marley is one of 922 places in Kent we cover.
Guests arriving by train will find that Snowdown station is about 3.5 miles away. Parks such as Jumping Downs normally need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Marley. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

Marley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Marley?
The closest is Snowdown station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Marley?
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.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Send allergy details to us in writing
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Marley, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

- How many staff you need

- The date and time of the event
