Is Coldred close to London?
It is about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration.

We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.

Coldred weddings: local tips
Coldred is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. Across the CT15 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in 922 places across Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Couples who choose a church such as Church of St Pancras for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. Service can start as guests arrive. Close to Coldred are historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (4.6 miles north). 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. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Coldred, with rural settings that could suit a wedding. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer. Couples near the coast, within about 5 miles of Coldred, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.
