How our Mexican party catering works in Herne Bay
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. It works well for milestone birthdays and leaving dos and retirements, serving guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
Birthdays and summer parties in Herne Bay often happen at home or in a local hall. A truck or trailer can work at both, as long as we can drive in and park on level ground. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Why choose Mexican party catering in Herne Bay?
Everyone builds their own plate, so there is less waste.
Here are some of the events we cater in Herne Bay and Kent:
- New-home celebrations
- Baby celebrations
- Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers
- Graduation celebrations
Parks such as Curtis Wood usually need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Herne Bay questions
Can you serve near the sea around Herne Bay?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you supply plates?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cover Herne Bay?
We do. Herne Bay is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Typically. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book.
