Mexican catering in Sandling
How our Mexican catering works in Sandling
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. For company summer parties and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a hamlet or village like Sandling, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours

How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In Sandling, 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. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Sandling: venues, access and local tips
Sandling is about 1 mile north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Whether your event is in the middle of Sandling or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Guests arriving by train will find that Sandling station is in Sandling itself. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 6 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Sandling. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Sandling is within about 2 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 generally need permission from the council or landowner.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Sandling
Is it possible to have you in Brockhill Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Sandling?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you come to Sandling?
We do. We serve at events in Sandling and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do parties at home?
That 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 will advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Count children separately
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
