Mexican party catering in Canterbury, from our truck or trailer
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues in and around Canterbury. Send us the address and we’ll check the way in. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for anniversaries and engagement parties and housewarming parties.
Parties in Canterbury can be anywhere from a garden to a function room. We need a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer and a way to drive in. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A party in Canterbury in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We pack down after service.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Canterbury questions
How far is Canterbury from London?
It is about 53 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station should guests use for Canterbury?
Canterbury has its own station: Canterbury East station.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Parties in Canterbury: gardens, venues and local tips
Canterbury is in Kent. We cater parties at homes, gardens and venues in Canterbury and the surrounding area. Canterbury is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring Mexican party catering.
Families celebrating a christening at a church such as Church of St Margaret might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. A birthday picnic in Bus Company Island sounds fun, but bringing in a catering vehicle needs the owner’s agreement.
This part of Kent takes in CT1, CT2, CT4 and CT3, and we can cater your party anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Long Market, High Street and High Street St Gregorys or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Main roads around Canterbury include the A2 and A28, so getting the truck or trailer to your party is simple. Nearby, we also cater parties in Wincheap (1 mile south-west), Harbledown (1 mile west), Hales Place (1 mile north), Thanington (1 mile south-west) and Stuppington (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (13 miles south-west), Margate (15 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (15 miles east) and Whitstable (6 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in Kent, Canterbury has plenty of venues and spaces for parties, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
A little further out are Whitefriars Shopping Centre (within half a mile south-west) and Canterbury Roman Museum (within half a mile south). Green spaces nearby include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Local schools include Barton Court Grammar School (0.5 miles east) and Canterbury School of Architecture (0.5 miles south-east)
