Mexican catering for Whitstable events
Common questions in Whitstable
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Foxes Cross Bottom?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is Whitstable close to London?
It is about 50 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
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 will recommend how to serve.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
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 will talk it through.
Mexican catering in Whitstable, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At garden get-togethers and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
There are lots of options in a town like Whitstable: a drive, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We’ll agree where we park beforehand. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. 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.
How it compares
If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Catering an event in Whitstable

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like The Whitstable School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Thinking of an event in Foxes Cross Bottom? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. Whitstable is within about a mile 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.
We cover events in every part of the CT5 postcode area and the streets around it. From High Street, Station Road and Cranleigh Gardens or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Whitstable sits on or near the A299 and A2990, which makes travel to your event easy. Nearby, we also cater events in Tankerton (1 mile north-east), Chestfield (1 mile east), Swalecliffe (2 miles east), Radfall (2 miles south-east) and Yorkletts (2 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (6 miles south-east), Margate (15 miles east), Sittingbourne (13 miles west), Faversham (7 miles west), Herne Bay (5 miles east) and Minster (11 miles north-west).
A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (1 mile north-east) and Tankerton Castle (0.8 miles north). Open spaces near Whitstable include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
