Mexican party catering in Etchinghill, from our truck or trailer
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. For christenings and naming days and retirement celebrations, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos.
A country party near Etchinghill is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Etchinghill parties: what to know
Etchinghill is about 3 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. Give us the address of your party in Etchinghill, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Sandling station, about 2 miles south-west. For a party in the countryside, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in. The coast is within about 4 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
We cover parties in every part of CT18 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include St Marys Close, Meriden Walk and St Marys Drive, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Etchinghill, we also cover Lyminge (1 mile north), Postling (1 mile west), Woodland (2 miles north-west), Skeete (2 miles north-west) and Ottinge (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (9 miles east), Folkestone (4 miles south-east), Deal (15 miles north-east) and Hythe (3 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Royal Victoria Hospital (3.8 miles south-east) and Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (1.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Etchinghill includes Tolsford Hill.
- Nearby schools include Brockhill Park Performing Arts College (2.4 miles south-west)
About the menu
Quesadillas

Tacos
Soft tacos with your choice of filling, served hot from the truck or trailer.
Your questions about Mexican party catering in Etchinghill
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you come out to small places like Etchinghill?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll include the options in your quote.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Count adults and children separately
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Have cover ready for a shower
We have allergen details for every dish, so guests can check before ordering.
Tell us if you need plates or serving staff.
What else we do in Etchinghill
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
How it compares
Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and nobody is stuck at the grill. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Step by step
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. A party in Etchinghill in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or CT18 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
