Our Mexican catering in CT1
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits office lunches and team days and big birthday celebrations.
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.

What’s near Canterbury
We can bring the truck to events near The Old Buttermarket pub, Barton Court Grammar School and St Thomas of Canterbury Church. Other local landmarks include Bus Company Island (less than half a mile north), Church of St Margaret (under half a mile south-west), Canterbury School of Architecture (0.5 miles south-east) and St Peter's Methodist Primary School (under half a mile west). There is a railway station in Canterbury itself: Canterbury East station, handy for guests travelling by train. Other landmarks nearby include Whitefriars Shopping Centre (less than half a mile south-west) and Canterbury Roman Museum (within half a mile south). Not far away are Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
Mexican catering across CT1: what to know
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in CT1, so the setting can be anything from Canterbury, Wincheap and Hales Place to a quiet hamlet: access, level ground and a clear plan.
Canterbury: With the A2 and A28 nearby, getting the truck or trailer to Canterbury is straightforward. A gathering in Bus Company Island would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Evenings in Canterbury stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Why street food works
Guests enjoy building their own plate, and the taco bar gets them talking.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in CT1 can book us for occasions like:
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Family gatherings and christenings
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The number of people
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
