Wedding Mexican catering in Hawkinge, from our truck or trailer
Evening guests want something hot, quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job. It works well for day-after wedding get-togethers and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving evening tacos, tacos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
A farm or garden wedding near Hawkinge suits a food truck. We’ll need level, firm ground and a way to reach it. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, sunset in Hawkinge is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Hawkinge
We are having a ceremony at St Luke's: can you cater afterwards?
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.

It is about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Yes, we do. We serve at events in Hawkinge and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers and we will plan for them.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
