About our Mexican party catering in Dover
Many gardens and drives can take a truck or trailer, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Not sure? Send us a picture. It suits summer garden parties and housewarming parties, serving quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a town like Dover, a garden party is the classic choice, with a local hall or club as a good back-up if access is tight. We need a level spot to park and room for a queue. Everything is prepared fresh for your party and served from our truck or trailer.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and a choice of salsas, made fresh for your party.
Tacos
Soft tacos with your choice of filling, served hot from the truck or trailer.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Throwing a late-May party in Dover? The sun sets at about 8:45pm. 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.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
