Book Mexican catering in Tilmanstone
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Tilmanstone until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

About our Mexican catering in Tilmanstone
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for leaving parties and weddings, day or evening.
In a rural place like Tilmanstone, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Everyone builds their own.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.

Mexican catering around Tilmanstone
Tilmanstone is about 4 miles west of Deal, in Kent. Events in Tilmanstone are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, Shepherds Well station is about 3.3 miles away. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Andrew, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.

We can cater an event on streets such as Upper Street, Vicarage Lane and Chapel Road. We also serve at events in Elvington (2 miles west), Heronden (2 miles north), Chillenden (2 miles north-west), Barfrestone (2 miles west) and Hammill Park (3 miles north).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
