Mexican catering for St Mary in the Marsh events
For event organisers in St Mary in the Marsh
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Mexican catering in St Mary in the Marsh, 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 garden parties and leaving dos and retirement parties, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burritos.
Somewhere as small as St Mary in the Marsh, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
St Mary in the Marsh: venues, access and local tips
St Mary in the Marsh is about 7 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Tell us where your event in St Mary in the Marsh will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We serve in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 19 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Thinking of an event in Romney Warren Country Park? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
This part of Kent takes in TN29. From Wades Close, Rectory Road and Pickneybush Lane or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in St Mary in the Marsh close in by about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
About the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. The bowl version suits anyone avoiding tortillas.
Loaded nachos
Crisp tortilla chips loaded with toppings, salsa and guacamole.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Count children separately
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

St Mary in the Marsh: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like St Mary in the Marsh?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you cover St Mary in the Marsh?
Yes, we do. St Mary in the Marsh is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide 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.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
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.
