Parties in Lilyvale: gardens, venues and local tips
Lilyvale is about 5 miles east of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your party is in the middle of Lilyvale or on the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Lilyvale to Canterbury (12 miles away).
Families celebrating a christening at a church such as Church of St Mary might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. Nearby historic houses include Westenhanger Castle (2.7 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Lilyvale, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about 6 miles of Lilyvale, a coastal party could work, though promenades usually need the council’s agreement for vehicles.
Here we cover the TN25 postcode area. For parties just outside Lilyvale, we cover Brabourne Lees (1 mile north-west), Stone Hill (1 mile south-east), Smeeth (1 mile north-west), Ridgeway (1 mile west) and Bircholt Forstal (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (5 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north), Dover (14 miles east), Folkestone (8 miles east), Faversham (14 miles north) and Hythe (5 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Lympne Castle (3.6 miles south-east) and William Harvey Hospital (3.4 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Tolsford Hill and Hatch Park.

Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle. At retirement celebrations and housewarmings, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
A country party near Lilyvale is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your party and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Make sure there is a vegan option
The area around the truck or trailer stays tidy, with space for a queue.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.

FAQs for Lilyvale
How far is Lilyvale from central London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cover Lilyvale?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Lilyvale and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Generally, if there’s outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Ask the venue about food trucks.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
What affects the price in Lilyvale
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A party in Lilyvale in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
