Mexican party catering for Sholden events
Mexican party catering for your party in Sholden
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and the food comes out hot. It works well for graduation and exam-results parties and big birthdays, with a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas.
In a small place like Sholden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Sholden questions
Could you serve in Betteshanger Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How far is Sholden from central London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Typically, if there’s firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send us a photo of the space.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. A party in Sholden in late May has daylight until about 8:45pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.

- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Hosting a taco party in Sholden
Sholden is about 1 mile north-west of Deal, in Kent. We bring Mexican party catering to homes, gardens and venues in Sholden. Sholden is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. We cater right across the region, from Sholden to Canterbury (13 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (2 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. If Betteshanger Park is on your list, ask the people who run it about vehicles and food sales before you send invitations. With the sea within about 2 miles of Sholden, a coastal party could work, though promenades normally need the council’s agreement for vehicles.

Catering for every guest

- Count adults and children separately
- Have bins ready
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
The area around the truck or trailer stays tidy, with space for a queue.
Nachos for sharing while the party gets going.
