With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St George, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. Service can start as guests arrive.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Common questions in Benenden
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St George: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
How far is Benenden from central London?
It is about 42 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the wedding.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices too. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Guacamole and salsas
- Burritos and bowls
- Nachos to share
- Margarita bar
- Evening tacos
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Think about a covered space for wet weather
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will move the serving time so the food is still hot.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added, with licensing checked with you and your venue.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September weddings in Benenden see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. In late May it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us when you want service to start

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
