Mexican catering in Stowting, served fresh
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Stowting and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. For engagement celebrations and charity and school events, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Stowting, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Catering an event in Stowting
Stowting is about 5 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Stowting, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cater in all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Stowting Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If people are travelling in by rail, Westenhanger station is about 3.1 miles away. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Stowting, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking. The coast is within about 6 miles of Stowting, 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 usually need permission from the council or landowner.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Comparing your options
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
