Mexican catering for Studdal events
Studdal: your questions answered
Could you come to a seaside event near Studdal?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at East Studdal Church Hall: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Mexican catering in Studdal, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. Popular choices include tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits fairs and festivals and staff parties and office lunches.
For a rural spot like Studdal, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Catering an event in Studdal
Studdal is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Studdal to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Around Studdal, historic houses include Walmer Castle (4 miles east) and Goodnestone Park (5 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. For a christening or wedding at a church such as East Studdal Church Hall, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The coast is within about 5 miles of Studdal, 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 CT15. Local streets include Chapel Lane, Homestead Lane and Northdowns Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
