Mexican party catering in Martin
How our Mexican party catering works in Martin
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. Our truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. Popular choices include burritos, guacamole and salsas and quesadillas, which works well for anniversary celebrations and big birthdays.
Near Martin, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan around it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Martin, 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.

Martin parties: what to know
Martin is about 3 miles north-east of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Martin to the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Martin to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Church of St Augustine, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (3 miles north-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. A party by the sea is within reach, as Martin is within about 4 miles of the coast. Wind and soft sand are the things to plan for.

Whether your party is on The Street, Waterworks Lane and Ringwould Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican party catering there, given access.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Common questions in Martin
What’s the nearest station to Martin for guests?
Martin Mill station, in Martin itself.
Do you cater at coastal events near Martin?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
