Wedding Mexican catering in Charlton-in-Dover, served fresh
We time service around your day: whether that’s straight after the photos or later in the evening. Timings are agreed with your venue in advance. At receptions after an intimate ceremony and gatherings the day after a wedding, we can serve tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and fresh guacamole and salsas.
For a smaller place like Charlton-in-Dover, a garden or farm wedding can be ideal. We need level ground and access, plus power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Charlton-in-Dover, 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 get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Charlton-in-Dover
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
Is it possible to have you in Connaught Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals. Tell us what you have in mind.
