Mexican catering for your event in West Hougham
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. It works well for markets and community events and retirement and leaving parties, with loaded nachos, burritos and tacos.
In a hamlet or village like West Hougham, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What affects the price in West Hougham
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

West Hougham questions
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to West Hougham for guests?
Guests can use Kearsney station, about 2.7 miles north-east of West Hougham.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will set out what we can do in your quote.

West Hougham: venues, access and local tips
West Hougham is about 3 miles south-west of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of West Hougham to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from West Hougham to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Mary's Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Parks such as East Cliff and Warren Country Park normally need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from West Hougham. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. West Hougham 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 normally need permission from the council or landowner.
For Mexican catering in CT15, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on The Street, Lady Garne Road and Mill Lane. Other places close to West Hougham for Mexican catering include Satmar (1 mile south-west), Church Hougham (1 mile east), South Alkham (1 mile north-west), Capel-le-Ferne (1 mile south-west) and Alkham (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Dover (3 miles north-east), Folkestone (4 miles south-west), Deal (10 miles north-east), Hythe (7 miles south-west) and Tower Hamlets (3 miles east).
A little further out are Crabble Corn Mill (2.7 miles north-east) and Buckland Hospital (2.7 miles north-east). The countryside around West Hougham includes Dover Western Heights and Sugar Loaf Hill.
- Nearby schools include Astor College for the Arts (2.4 miles east)
Should I do it 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
