Wedding Mexican catering near Appledore
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Appledore
For weddings in Appledore and nearby, we can cater one part of the day or both main meals. Share your plans and we will suggest a menu. On the menu are a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, evening tacos and quesadillas, and it suits engagement parties and food for evening guests.
Rural weddings around Appledore have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
We have allergen details for every dish, and dishes are labelled.
Include your suppliers in the numbers if you add them to the final count.
Questions from Appledore
Which station is closest to Appledore?
Appledore (Kent) station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Appledore?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.
How it compares
Compared with formal catering, a taco bar is relaxed and sociable, but it can still feel like a celebration. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

What wedding Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we’re serving
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
There is no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.

Can I do a taco night myself?
