It suits christenings and family parties and office lunches and team days, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Pett Bottom, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Mexican catering around Pett Bottom
Pett Bottom is about 4 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT4 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. Pett Bottom is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
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. A school such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Pett Bottom, 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.
We serve at events all over CT4 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Pett Bottom Road and School Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Pett Bottom, we cover Lower Hardres (1 mile north-west), Upper Hardres (1 mile south-west), Street End (1 mile north-west), Lynsore Bottom (1 mile south) and Nackington (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (12 miles south-west), Canterbury (4 miles north), Dover (11 miles south-east), Folkestone (10 miles south), Whitstable (9 miles north) and Deal (13 miles east).
A little further out are Canterbury Castle (3.4 miles north) and Rupert Bear Museum (3.5 miles north).

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Common questions in Pett Bottom
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Pett Bottom from central London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How we price Mexican catering

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

- The address or venue name

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Pett Bottom, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- 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 a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Ask the venue about power and water
