Mexican party catering for your party in Whitstable
Birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations all suit Mexican street food. The truck or trailer is a focal point, and every plate goes out hot. At anniversary celebrations and family get-togethers, we can serve tacos, burritos and guacamole and salsas and more.
Garden parties are a favourite in Whitstable, and a hall or club with a car park works if the garden does not. We need a level spot to park and room for a queue. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Throwing a late-May party in Whitstable? The sun sets at about 8:45pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.

- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.

About the menu
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a filling and fresh toppings, served from the hatch.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas go on the side, so guests choose the heat.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Whitstable
Could you come to a seaside event near Whitstable?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Foxes Cross Bottom?
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 soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
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. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Which areas do you serve?
