Mexican catering in Waterham, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. For family celebrations and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we will put together a menu of burritos, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Waterham, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What Mexican catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we are serving
- Parking and the route in
- Timings and hours
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Common questions in Waterham
Do you cater in villages like Waterham?
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.
Could you come to a seaside event near Waterham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What are your prices?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
A closer look at the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole, and guests add as much as they like.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning a food truck in Waterham
Waterham is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. Tell us where your event in Waterham will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Whitstable station, about 3.4 miles north-east. Before you pencil in Seasalter Levels, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Waterham is within about 4 miles of the sea, 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.
Wherever your event is in ME13, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also serve at events in Highstreet (1 mile east), Dargate (1 mile south), Hernhill (1 mile south-west), Graveney (1 mile west) and Culmers (2 miles west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (14 miles south), Canterbury (6 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (10 miles west), Whitstable (3 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (7 miles north-east).
A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (4 miles north-east) and Tankerton Castle (3.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December event in Waterham will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
