Popular choices include a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, evening tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits gatherings the day after a wedding and civil partnerships and vow renewals.

Planning a taco wedding in Gravel Castle
Gravel Castle is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Wherever your wedding is in the CT4 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cater in 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Gravel Castle to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Around Gravel Castle, historic houses include Goodnestone Park (3.8 miles north-east) and Acrise Place (4.8 miles south). 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 John the Baptist, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. We can set up while the photos are taken. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 5 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer.
Here we cover the CT4 postcode area, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Gravel Castle Road and Church Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Gravel Castle, we also cover Barham (1 mile north-west), Derringstone (1 mile west), Heart's Delight (1 mile west), Out Elmstead (1 mile north-west) and Womenswold (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cater in Ashford (14 miles west), Canterbury (6 miles north-west), Margate (15 miles north-east), Dover (7 miles south-east), Folkestone (8 miles south) and Ramsgate (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Kent and Canterbury Hospital (5.5 miles north-west).
Comparing your options
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and the style is more relaxed. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Which station is closest to Gravel Castle?
Snowdown station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.

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’ll send what they need from us.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.

Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you do the wedding breakfast and evening food?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals, from the wedding breakfast to evening food. Share your plans and we will suggest a menu.
