We plan the menu together, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus vegan options such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for retirement and leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties, with burritos, quesadillas and guacamole and salsas.
A country party near Derringstone is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
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 anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Common questions in Derringstone
Is it possible to have you in Jumping Downs?
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’ll send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you come to Derringstone?
Yes, we do. Derringstone is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy it, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Derringstone parties: what to know
Derringstone is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Give us the address of your party in Derringstone, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Derringstone is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Derringstone to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Snowdown station, about 2.6 miles east. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (4.2 miles north-east) and Acrise Place (4.6 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Derringstone, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
For Mexican party catering in CT4, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings.
