How our wedding Mexican catering works in Hockenden
Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. It works well for barn and farm weddings and engagement parties at home, serving quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hockenden, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Hockenden: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Hockenden from London?
It’s about 13 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
