Mexican catering in Upstreet, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for staff parties and office lunches and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Upstreet, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Quesadillas are simple and comforting.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Catering an event in Upstreet
Upstreet is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT3 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Upstreet is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Upstreet to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
A gathering in Grove Ferry Picnic Area would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
For Mexican catering in CT3, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. Local streets include St Mary's Gardens, Becketts Wood and Grove Ferry Hill; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. For events just outside Upstreet, we cover Grove (1 mile south), West Stourmouth (2 miles east), Sarre (2 miles north-east), Preston (2 miles south-east) and East Stourmouth (2 miles east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (6 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (9 miles east), Broadstairs (10 miles east) and Whitstable (8 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (5.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Nearby schools include Spires Academy (2.4 miles west)
- Local pubs include The Grove Ferry Inn (within half a mile east)
Common questions in Upstreet
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you come out to small places like Upstreet?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you cater in Upstreet?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Upstreet and the rest of Kent. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Where the truck can go in Upstreet
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
