Taco catering in Westwood: local tips
Westwood is about 5 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Give us the address of your event in Westwood, and we will plan access and set-up. We cover 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Close to Westwood are historic houses such as Acrise Place (4.9 miles south). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. If people are travelling in by rail, Bekesbourne station is about 4.1 miles away. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Westwood, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
We cater events across the CT4 postcode area and the streets around it. For events just outside Westwood, we cover Marley (1 mile east), Heart's Delight (2 miles east), Bishopsbourne (2 miles north-east), Kingston (2 miles north-east) and Derringstone (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (11 miles south-west), Canterbury (5 miles north), Dover (10 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south), Whitstable (11 miles north) and Deal (13 miles east).

How our Mexican catering works in Westwood
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar. Popular choices include loaded nachos, tacos and burritos, which works well for anniversaries and engagements and company summer parties.
Somewhere as small as Westwood, 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 food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Count children separately
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
What Mexican catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we are needed on site
- What the venue already provides
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Daylight in Westwood runs to about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
