Mexican catering in West Street
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Mexican catering for your event in West Street
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For weddings, day or evening and fairs and festivals, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos and more.
In a rural place like West Street, access is the main thing to plan: 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.

Mexican catering around West Street
West Street is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around West Street. We cater in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from West Street to Canterbury (15 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (4.2 miles west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. Thinking of an event in Kiln Wood? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of West Street, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
