About our Mexican catering in Nonington
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and birthday parties.
Somewhere as small as Nonington, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Nonington: venues, access and local tips
Nonington is about 7 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Nonington, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Nonington is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Nonington to Canterbury (7 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Close to Nonington are historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (1.4 miles north). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Nonington. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in.

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Nonington questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will plan around them.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
How we price Mexican catering
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
- How many guests we’re serving
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
