Mexican party catering for Elvington events
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Mexican party catering for your party in Elvington
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 retirement celebrations and big family gatherings, serving burritos, loaded nachos and tacos.
In a small place like Elvington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we will plan the set-up. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Let the neighbours know
At food time, we open the hatch.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
FAQs for Elvington
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Which station should guests use for Elvington?
Shepherds Well station, about 1.9 miles south-west of the centre.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Mexican party catering or something else?
If you want special but not formal, Mexican street food is hard to beat. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Elvington parties: what to know
Elvington is about 5 miles north of Dover, in Kent. We cater parties at homes, gardens and venues in Elvington and nearby villages. We serve in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Elvington to Canterbury (9 miles away).
Friends travelling without a car may like to know that Shepherds Well station is about 1.9 miles away. Close to Elvington are historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (2.8 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. For a party in the countryside, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.
This part of Kent takes in CT15, and we can cater your party anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Sweetbriar Lane, Poplar Drive and Fairview Road, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.
