Your questions about Mexican party catering in Thurnham
Do you cater in villages like Thurnham?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy it, particularly quesadillas. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cater in Thurnham?
We do. We serve at events in Thurnham and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally, if there is outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Have bins ready
- Measure your gate or driveway
- Add a diet question to the invitation
We arrive before your guests to set up, so food is ready when you want it.
Bowls as an alternative to tacos.

- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
