How our Mexican catering works in Stone Hill
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. On the menu are burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for milestone birthdays and charity and school events.
For a rural spot like Stone Hill, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Stone Hill questions
Will you travel to a small place like Stone Hill?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.

We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.

It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.

Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Catering an event in Stone Hill
Stone Hill is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Stone Hill and the surrounding area. Stone Hill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Sellindge Primary School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Around Stone Hill, historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (2.2 miles south-east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. Stone Hill is within about 6 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. Stone Hill is within about 6 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.
This part of Kent takes in TN25. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Stone Hill, Southenay Lane and Cooper's Lane or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Lilyvale (1 mile north-west), Brabourne Lees (1 mile north-west), Smeeth (1 mile north-west), Ridgeway (1 mile north-west) and Bircholt Forstal (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (6 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (14 miles east), Folkestone (8 miles east), Faversham (15 miles north) and Hythe (5 miles south-east).
A little further out are Lympne Castle (3.1 miles south-east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park and Tolsford Hill.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
