Mexican catering in Nackington, 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. It suits milestone birthdays and garden parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere like Nackington, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

Catering an event in Nackington
Nackington is about 2 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. For an event in Nackington, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Canterbury East station, about 1.7 miles north. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Nackington. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.
We cover events in every part of CT4 and the streets around it. Nearby, we also cater events in Street End (1 mile south-west), Stuppington (1 mile north-west), Lower Hardres (1 mile south), Pett Bottom (2 miles south) and Wincheap (2 miles north-west).

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Nackington questions
Do you come out to small places like Nackington?
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 bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What food do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
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.
Do you cater for big events?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How we price Mexican catering

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has

Send us the date, your venue or CT4 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. In Nackington, 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 is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we will park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare

- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
