Wedding Mexican catering in Abbey Gate, from our truck or trailer
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, as long as we can drive in safely and park on level ground. We serve tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and loaded nachos, and it suits late-evening wedding food and day-after wedding get-togethers.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Abbey Gate, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Abbey Gate, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

FAQs for Abbey Gate
Which station is closest to Abbey Gate?
Maidstone East station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
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. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What does wedding Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Do you come to Abbey Gate?
Yes, we do. Abbey Gate is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
