Running an event in Bluetown
Bluetown is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Bluetown and the surrounding area. Bluetown is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Maidstone, about 10 miles away.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Sittingbourne station, about 3.6 miles north. A fundraiser for a church like Church of St Catherine might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Events in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Bluetown, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
Wherever your event is in ME9, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Other places close to Bluetown for Mexican street food include Hollybushes (1 mile west), Milstead (1 mile north-west), Doddington (1 mile south-east), Wichling (1 mile south) and Frinsted (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (10 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south-east), Canterbury (14 miles east), Sittingbourne (4 miles north), Whitstable (13 miles east) and Faversham (6 miles east).
A little further out are Newnham Castle (2.4 miles east) and Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (3.4 miles north).
How our Mexican street food works in Bluetown
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. We serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits agricultural and county shows and music and food festivals.
Rural events near Bluetown can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What Mexican street food costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Check how traders handle peak times
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Plan seating near the food area
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day.
Our drinks bar, where the event’s licensing allows.
How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Why book with us
- A menu built around your guests
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. A December market in Bluetown loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:15pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Should I do it myself?
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.
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.
Bluetown: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Cromers Wood?
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 will send what they need from us.
Do you come to school fairs around Bluetown?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Will there be long queues?
Fillings are cooked ahead and kept hot, so orders are assembled quickly.
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 cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
