Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. Popular choices include burritos, tacos and quesadillas, and it suits neighbourhood celebrations and housewarmings.

Northdown parties: what to know
Northdown is about 2 miles east of Margate, in Kent. Anywhere in CT9, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
Once the service at a church like St Philip is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Broadstairs station is about 1.8 miles away. Near the coast, within about 2 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 CT9 and CT10, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Old Road, Holly Lane and Green Lane, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Palm Bay (1 mile north-west), Cliftonville (1 mile west), Kingsgate (1 mile east), St Peter's (1 mile south) and Broadstairs (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Ramsgate (3 miles south), Deal (12 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (13 miles south), St Lawrence (3 miles south) and Newington (3 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Westwood Cross (2.1 miles south-west) and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (1.4 miles south-west).
