Mexican party catering near Fordwich
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Mexican party catering in Fordwich, from our truck or trailer
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with soft drinks and alcohol-free choices too. We’ll go through the licensing with you. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for garden get-togethers and baby celebrations.
A country party near Fordwich 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. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Should I do it 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’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Fordwich parties: what to know
Fordwich is about 2 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. For Mexican party catering in Fordwich, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Fordwich. Fordwich is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
Parks such as Chequer's Wood and Old Park typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Sturry station is in Fordwich itself. With the sea within about 6 miles of Fordwich, a coastal party could work, though promenades normally need the council’s agreement for vehicles.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In Fordwich, it is light until about 9:15pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

Fordwich questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
Which station should guests use for Fordwich?
Fordwich has its own station: Sturry station.
Can you cater for special diets?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately, and every dish is labelled. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
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.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
