Mexican catering in Palmarsh, from our truck or trailer
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and burritos, which works well for birthday parties and engagement celebrations.
For a place the size of Palmarsh, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Taco catering in Palmarsh: local tips
Palmarsh is about 2 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT21 area, we will come to your venue or site. Palmarsh is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Palmarsh Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Guests leaving a church like Holy Cross after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Palmarsh is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, 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. 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.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
