Mexican party catering in Chatham, from our food truck or trailer
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, no prep and no hours in the kitchen. The food is our job. At big birthdays and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and burritos for your guests.
There are plenty of party venues in Chatham, but home can be the best venue of all, if there’s access. Tell us about the drive, gates and parking. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Party venues around Chatham
Chatham is about 29 miles east of London, in Medway. For a party in Chatham, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Chatham. We cover all 68 towns and villages in Medway, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 24 miles away.
Close to Chatham are historic houses such as Restoration House (2.4 miles north-west) and Temple Manor (2.9 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles first. If Darland Banks is on your list, ask the people who run it about vehicles and food sales before you send invitations. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Chatham, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We cover parties in every part of ME5, ME4, ME7 and ME1 and the streets around it. Your party could be at a home on Luton High Street, Market Place and High Street or the roads around them. You will find Chatham on the A2 and A229, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer.

Being one of Medway’s larger places, Chatham has lots of places to hold a party, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space

- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
FAQs for Chatham
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Darland Banks?
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 Chatham close to London?
It’s about 29 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Quesadillas and simple tacos go down well with children, and salsas go on the side. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Medway included. Find your area.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability for you.
Do you cater in Chatham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Chatham and the rest of Medway. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission.
Step by step
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A party in Chatham in late May has daylight until about 8:50pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
How to prepare
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Chatham?
The food is served hot from the hatch, even when the party is outdoors.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Housewarming parties
- Birthday parties
- Family reunions
- Street and neighbourhood parties
After a christening at a church like Christ the King, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends.
