Wedding Mexican catering in Ashbank
Planning a taco wedding in Ashbank
Ashbank is about 4 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. Tell us where your wedding in Ashbank will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cater in 922 places in Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ashbank to Canterbury (about 20 miles away).
Close to Ashbank are historic houses such as Leeds Castle (0.6 miles east) and Stoneacre (1.7 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. With a ceremony at a church such as St Nicholas's Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 2 miles from Ashbank. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.
We cater weddings across the ME17 postcode area and the streets around it. From George Lane and Wykeham Grove or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover weddings in Leeds (1 mile south-west), Broomfield (1 mile south-east), Eyhorne Street (1 mile north-east), Chegworth (1 mile east) and Hollingbourne (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (4 miles west), Ashford (13 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (8 miles north-east), Tonbridge (15 miles west), Faversham (12 miles east) and Minster (14 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find KIMS hospital (3.6 miles north-west) and The Dog Collar Museum (0.6 miles east). Not far away are Detling Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The George Inn (under half a mile south-west)
Wedding Mexican catering in Ashbank, 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. It suits big weddings with every diet and farm and barn venues, with tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Rural weddings around Ashbank have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Questions from Ashbank
Will you travel to a small place like Ashbank?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We can. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. For a summer wedding in Ashbank, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- We plan the food with you: wedding breakfast, evening food or both.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning help
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
If things run late, and we’ll adjust when we serve.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
How it compares
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and a taco bar feels more relaxed. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
