Wedding Mexican catering for Budds events
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
- Let us know about supplier meals
A taco bar is laid out on a table, and guests can be called up by table.
Extra salsas and toppings make the taco bar look generous.
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Budds
Our drinks bar can serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free options too. We will check the licensing with you and your venue. It works well for gatherings the day after a wedding and blessings and vow renewals, with loaded nachos, quesadillas and evening tacos.
A wedding in a small place like Budds often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our truck or trailer.
Budds: your questions answered
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 will follow the site rules.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
Diets are planned in advance and kept separate. Ask any guests with severe allergies to speak to us first.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Getting married in Budds?
Budds is about 3 miles north of Tonbridge, in Kent. Weddings in Budds are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Budds to London (23 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Ightham Mote (0.9 miles north-east) and Knole House (2.6 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles. Say your vows at a church like Church of St Giles, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. Service can start as guests arrive. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 7 miles from Budds. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.
We cater weddings across the TN11 postcode area. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Shipbourne (1 mile east), Underriver (1 mile west), Bitchet Green (1 mile north), Coldharbour (1 mile south) and Ivy Hatch (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (12 miles east), Dartford (14 miles north), Sevenoaks (4 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (8 miles south), Gravesend (14 miles north) and Tonbridge (3 miles south).

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Golden-hour photos in Budds at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, your venue or TN11 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
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. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
The menu, item by item
Taco bar wedding breakfast
Warm tortillas, a choice of fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, laid out for guests to build their own.
Quesadillas
