Wedding Mexican catering near Folkestone
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A winter wedding in Folkestone gets dark early, at about 3:50pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?

Read how we price or our guide to catering costs.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Check your date with us early
- Tell us when the speeches will be
We park where the venue agrees, ideally where guests can see us.

Folkestone: your questions answered
Is Folkestone close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
