Mexican street food in Northbourne
Mexican street food in Northbourne, served fresh
We trade at festivals, fairs, markets, school fairs and community events in and around Northbourne. On the menu are burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos, and it suits food and music festivals and open days and community events.
A fête near Northbourne might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll confirm the arrangements. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Trader information and site rules
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
How it compares
A single pizza or burger stall can’t cover every visitor. Our menu gives visitors choice. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why us?
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Allergen-aware menus
- We cover Northbourne and the whole of Kent
- Quoted for your event
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December market in Northbourne loses the light at about 3:50pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:15pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

FAQs for Northbourne
Which station should guests use for Northbourne?
Guests can use Walmer station, about 2.2 miles south-east of Northbourne.
Will you travel to a small place like Northbourne?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements and we’ll respond.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Northbourne.
What’s on the menu
Burritos
A filling burrito to eat on the go.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Vegan tacos alongside the rest.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Running an event in Northbourne
Northbourne is about 2 miles west of Deal, in Kent. From the centre of Northbourne to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Northbourne to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Organisers looking at Betteshanger Park as a site should start with the landowner, who sets the rules for traders and vehicles. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, a busy corner. The coast is within about 3 miles of Northbourne, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
This part of Kent takes in CT14, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We can cater an event on streets such as Deal Road, Coulson Grove and Mill Lane or the roads around them. Close by, we cover events in Marley (1 mile north), Great Mongeham (1 mile south-east), Finglesham (1 mile north), Sholden Meadows (1 mile east) and Sholden (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (11 miles north), Dover (6 miles south), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (9 miles north) and Broadstairs (11 miles north).
