Mexican catering in Sholden, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits weddings, day or evening and big birthday celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Sholden, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Sholden questions
Could you come to a seaside event near Sholden?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Will you travel to a small place like Sholden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.

Taco catering in Sholden: local tips
Sholden is about 1 mile north-west of Deal, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT14 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Sholden to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that Deal station is about 1.1 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. 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.
We serve at events all over the CT14 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on The Street, London Road and Colmanton Grove. For events just outside Sholden, we cover Sholden Meadows (1 mile west), Mill Hill (1 mile south), Great Mongeham (1 mile south-west), Deal (1 mile south-east) and Finglesham (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (13 miles west), Margate (11 miles north), Dover (7 miles south-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-west), Ramsgate (8 miles north) and Broadstairs (10 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Deal Castle (1.4 miles east) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (1.2 miles east). The countryside around Sholden includes Monk's Wall nature reserve.
- Nearby schools include Castle Community College (1 mile south-east)
- Local pubs include The Magnet pub (0.6 miles south-east)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
