Mexican catering across CT5: what to know
There are 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets in CT5, so whether your event is in Whitstable, Swalecliffe and Tankerton or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings. 7 of the places we cover in CT5 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we plan for the wind at seaside events.
Whitstable: For a fête or sports day at a school such as The Whitstable School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St John (Methodist), a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Around midsummer it stays light in Whitstable until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
Occasions we cater for in CT5
Guests enjoy building their own plate, and the taco bar gets them talking.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in CT5 can book us for occasions like:
- Fairs and festivals
- Fundraisers and school events
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Garden parties
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
