Mexican catering in Northwood, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It suits school fairs and fundraisers and fairs and festivals, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and tacos.
For a place the size of Northwood, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Mention any other caterers or courses
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Northwood: venues, access and local tips
Northwood is about 1 mile north-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Northwood, and we will plan the journey and set-up. Northwood is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Northwood to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
By rail: the nearest station is Ramsgate station, about 0.8 miles south. A school such as Dame Janet Primary Academy running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. With the sea within about 2 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
This part of Kent takes in CT12, CT10 and CT11. From Gwyn Road, Coxes Lane and Roman Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Northwood sits on or near the A254 and A256, which makes travel to your event easy.

We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (15 miles west), Dover (15 miles south), Deal (9 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (10 miles south) and Wincheap (15 miles west).

What affects the price in Northwood
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Northwood
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mark's Church?
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’ll check the access.
Which station should guests use for Northwood?
The closest is Ramsgate station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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’ll do the serving.
Why choose Mexican catering in Northwood?
For food that feels relaxed but generous, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat for your event in Northwood. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
