About our wedding Mexican catering in Alkham
We plan the wedding menu with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve fresh guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and evening tacos, which works well for garden and marquee weddings and farm and barn venues.
There is something special about a country wedding near Alkham, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Alkham questions
How far is Alkham from central London?
It is about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What’s the nearest station to Alkham for guests?
Guests can use Kearsney station, about 2.3 miles north-east of Alkham.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What if the photos overrun?
It happens at most weddings. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready, even if that moves.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Weddings in Alkham: venues, ceremonies and travel
Alkham is about 3 miles west of Dover, in Kent. We cater weddings at homes, gardens and venues in Alkham and nearby villages. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent. We cater right across the region, from Alkham to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Historic houses near Alkham include Acrise Place (3.9 miles west). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. A wedding party gathering in Sladden Wood may need the park owner’s agreement, so ask before the day. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 6 miles from Alkham. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck. A wedding by the sea is possible from Alkham, with the coast within about 5 miles. Seafront venues may need permission for vehicles, and we plan for the breeze.
Anywhere in CT15, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Alkham Valley Road, Hogbrook Hill Lane and Newlyn's Meadow; for a wedding at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Step by step
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. In Alkham, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening food is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
