Mexican party catering in Parkgate
About our Mexican party catering in Parkgate
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat while you mingle. We serve quesadillas, tacos and burritos, which works well for family reunions and housewarming parties.
Near Parkgate, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan around it. You will know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A picture of the drive or garden helps us check the space
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Planning a party in Parkgate
Parkgate is about 10 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Parties in Parkgate are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 23 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Smallhythe Place (3.7 miles south-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. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Parkgate, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We cover parties in every part of the TN30 postcode area. From Cranbrook Road, Millpond Lane and Tenterden Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican party catering there, given access. Nearby, we also cater parties in Clapper Hill (1 mile north-west), East End (1 mile west), Strood (2 miles south), Fosten Green (2 miles north-west) and London Beach (2 miles north-east).

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it’s light in Parkgate 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Preparing for the day

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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
