Hosting a taco party in Paddock
Paddock is about 5 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. We serve at parties in gardens, halls and venues around Paddock. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across 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 11 miles away.
Friends travelling without a car may like to know that the nearest station is Charing station, about 3 miles west. Historic houses near Paddock include Belmont House and Gardens (3.8 miles north) and Godinton House (4.1 miles south). 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 Paddock, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We serve at parties all over TN25. Streets in the area include Canterbury Road 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 Challock (1 mile east), Pested (1 mile north-east), Stocker's Head (2 miles west), Charing Hill (2 miles west) and Stalisfield (3 miles north-west).

Mexican party catering in Paddock, from our food truck or trailer
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with soft drinks and alcohol-free choices too. We will talk licensing through with you. It works well for summer garden parties and family reunions, with guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Country parties near Paddock suit a food truck or trailer: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Warn the neighbours about the truck
- Have bins ready
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Count adults and children separately
We’re set up before guests arrive.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. At midsummer, it is light in Paddock until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
