Catering an event in Upper Harbledown
Upper Harbledown is about 2 miles west of Canterbury, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Upper Harbledown, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Upper Harbledown. Upper Harbledown is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
By rail: Canterbury West station is about 1.8 miles away. Parks such as No Man's Orchard generally need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. The coast is within about 6 miles of Upper Harbledown, 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 normally need permission from the council or landowner.

Streets in the area include Roman Road, The Green and Limes Place, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

About our Mexican catering in Upper Harbledown
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. It suits garden get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
In a small place like Upper Harbledown, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Comparing your options
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different, while still being easy food most people enjoy. 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.

FAQs for Upper Harbledown
Is it possible to have you in No Man's Orchard?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St. Gabriel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
How many guests can you cater for?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
