Mexican party catering for Folkestone events
How our Mexican party catering works in Folkestone
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Send us a picture if you are unsure. It suits family reunions and christenings and naming days, with tacos, burritos and guacamole and salsas.
Garden parties are a favourite in Folkestone, and a hall or club with a car park works if the garden does not. All we need is level ground and room to queue. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. For a winter party in Folkestone, it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:15pm.

Warm tortillas, fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests.
Tacos
Tacos are easy party food. You choose the fillings with us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Include at least one vegan filling
At food time, we open the hatch, while you enjoy your guests.

Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:

- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

FAQs for Folkestone
We are having a ceremony at United Reformed Church: 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 is closest to Folkestone?
Guests can use Folkestone Central station, which is right in Folkestone.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How far ahead should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
