Mexican catering in Newnham, from our truck or trailer
Taco catering in Newnham is what we do best. Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. For family gatherings and christenings and garden parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Newnham, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. 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.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Daylight in Newnham runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Newnham
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Newnham: venues, access and local tips
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Newnham, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We serve in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
A gathering in Doddington Place Gardens would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Guests arriving by train will find that Teynham station is about 3.4 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Newnham, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.

Questions from Newnham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could you serve in Doddington Place Gardens?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
