About our Mexican catering in Northbourne
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Northbourne and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. We serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, which works well for school fairs and fundraisers and family celebrations.
In a rural place like Northbourne, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Mexican catering around Northbourne
Northbourne is about 2 miles west of Deal, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT14 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We serve in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Before you pencil in Betteshanger Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Augustine, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Northbourne is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission from the council or landowner.
For Mexican catering in CT14, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. From Deal Road, Coulson Grove and Mill Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. For events just outside Northbourne, we cover Marley (1 mile north), Great Mongeham (1 mile south-east), Finglesham (1 mile north), Sholden Meadows (1 mile east) and Sholden (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (11 miles north), Dover (6 miles south), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (9 miles north) and Broadstairs (11 miles north).

Northbourne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Northbourne?
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.
Could you serve in Betteshanger Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
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.
Events we cater in Northbourne
Every order goes out hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Big birthday celebrations
- Fundraisers and school events
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Garden get-togethers
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Before booking anyone
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- When payment is due
- Whether VAT is included
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

How we price Mexican catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
