Wedding Mexican catering for Herne events
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Herne
We time service around your day: after the drinks reception, between the speeches or once evening guests arrive. Timings are agreed with your venue in advance. It works well for barn and farm weddings and day-after wedding get-togethers, serving burrito bowls, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and tacos.
A farm or garden wedding near Herne suits a food truck. We need level ground and access. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
FAQs for Herne
How far is Herne from central London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater at coastal events near Herne?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you’re ready, even if that moves.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What’s on the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa, guacamole and toppings.
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
What wedding Mexican catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Late-September weddings in Herne see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- 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.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Ask for a quote

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Check your date with us early
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
We park where the venue agrees, ideally where guests can see us.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we’ll set it out in the quote.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
