About our wedding Mexican catering in Dungate
Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free options too. We’ll check the licensing with you and your venue. At relaxed wedding breakfasts and gatherings the day after a wedding, we can serve tacos, burrito bowls and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and more.
Rural weddings around Dungate have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and time of the event
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
FAQs for Dungate
Which station is closest to Dungate?
Guests can use Sittingbourne station, about 2.9 miles north of Dungate.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Planners, venues and businesses
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.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What else we do in Dungate
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
The process
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, sunset in Dungate is around 7:00pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
