Planning a party in Manston
Manston is about 2 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. For a party in Manston, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Manston. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Quex Park (2.5 miles north-west). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Friends travelling without a car may like to know that Thanet Parkway station is about 1.2 miles away. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
For Mexican party catering in CT12, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include High Street, The Meadows and Manston Road, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Manston, we also cover Haine (1 mile north-east), Flete (1 mile north), Newington (1 mile east), Cliffs End (1 mile south) and Chilton (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (13 miles west), Dover (15 miles south), Broadstairs (3 miles east), Whitstable (15 miles west), Deal (9 miles south) and Herne Bay (10 miles west).
Nearby you’ll also find Spitfire and Hurricane Memorial Museum (0.9 miles west) and Ramsgate General Hospital (2.1 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
- Schools near Manston include The Royal Harbour Academy (1.8 miles east)
- Local pubs include Lord of the Manor pub (0.9 miles south-east)
- Other local spots include Margate West (2.6 miles north)
Mexican party catering in Manston, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars are made for parties: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. It works well for family get-togethers and street and neighbourhood parties, serving guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and tacos.
Country parties near Manston suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A party in Manston in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

How it compares
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What you get with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A clear quote
Read how we price or our guide to catering costs.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- The menu you choose
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your menu ideas
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Common questions in Manston
Can you serve near the sea around Manston?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Manston from London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll include the options in your quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Add a diet question to the invitation
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
Simple quesadillas for children.
