Mexican catering in Martin, served fresh
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for fairs and festivals and summer garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Martin, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Mexican catering around Martin
Martin is about 3 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. We bring Mexican catering to gardens, halls and venues around Martin and nearby villages. Martin is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Martin to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Around Martin, historic houses include Walmer Castle (3 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. A school such as Langdon Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. With the sea within about 4 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.
Here we cover the CT15 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include The Street, Waterworks Lane and Ringwould Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Martin questions
Which station should guests use for Martin?
Guests can use Martin Mill station, which is right in Martin.
Can you serve near the sea around Martin?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What are your prices?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Should I do it myself?
