How our Mexican catering works in Way
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, which works well for weddings and evening receptions and fairs and festivals.
Somewhere as small as Way, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Who books Mexican catering in Way?
Food is cooked to order and served hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

Taco catering in Way: local tips
Way is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. For Mexican catering in Way, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Way is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Minster Church of England Primary School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Around Way, historic houses include Quex Park (2 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. The coast is within about 4 miles of Way, 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 CT12, we can bring Mexican catering to you. From Wayborough Hill and Way Hill or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Mount Pleasant (1 mile north-west), Sevenscore (1 mile south-east), Minster (1 mile west), Acol (1 mile north-west) and Cliffs End (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (4 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles east), Broadstairs (5 miles east) and Whitstable (13 miles west).
A little further out are Westwood Cross (3.1 miles north-east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (3.5 miles east). Open spaces near Way include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Pubs nearby include The Bell Inn (0.9 miles south-west)
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Way: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve near the sea around Way?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What space do you need?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
