Common questions in Rough Common
What’s the nearest station to Rough Common for guests?
Guests can use Canterbury West station, about 1.3 miles south-east of Rough Common.
Do you cater at coastal events near Rough Common?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
Mexican party catering in Rough Common, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat while you mingle and there is no need for a seating plan. For garden get-togethers and new-home celebrations, we can serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
Country parties near Rough Common suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Have a covered area ready in case of rain. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- You pick the fillings and extras.
