What Mexican party catering costs
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Serving staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Mexican party catering in Monkton, from our truck or trailer
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with soft drinks and alcohol-free choices too. Licensing is checked with you first. On the menu are guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and tacos, and it’s a good fit for big birthdays and street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers.
Country parties near Monkton suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A party in Monkton in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

Hosting a taco party in Monkton
Monkton is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Anywhere in CT12, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Monkton to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Monkton include Quex Park (2.6 miles north-east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. With the sea within about 6 miles of Monkton, a coastal party could work, though promenades normally need the council’s agreement for vehicles.
Wherever your party is in CT12, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Monkton Street, Collards Close and Seamark Close, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Hoo (1 mile east), St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-west), Sarre (2 miles west), East Stourmouth (2 miles south-west) and Westmarsh (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (10 miles south-west), Margate (5 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (6 miles east), Broadstairs (7 miles east) and Whitstable (11 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Powell-Cotton Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (5.5 miles north-east). Open spaces near Monkton include Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Comparing your options
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. A truck or trailer serving hot food feels like an event. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Monkton: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saint Mary Magdalene?
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 come out to small places like Monkton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you come to Monkton?
Yes, we do. Monkton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A picture of the drive or garden helps us check the space
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
