What wedding Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- What you’d like on the menu
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Lower Hardres
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. For barn and farm weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we can serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, evening tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas for your guests.
Rural weddings around Lower Hardres have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Weddings in Lower Hardres: venues, ceremonies and travel
Lower Hardres is about 3 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether your wedding is in the middle of Lower Hardres or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages.
Put the station on your invitation: Canterbury East station is about 2.7 miles away. Say your vows at a church like Church of St Mary, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. Service can start as guests arrive. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Lower Hardres, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Let us know about severe allergies in writing
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
On the day, we work with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Extra salsas and toppings make the taco bar look generous.
Lower Hardres: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Lower Hardres for guests?
Guests can use Canterbury East station, about 2.7 miles north of Lower Hardres.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens at most weddings. Service starts when your running order says, even if that moves.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much does wedding Mexican catering cost in Lower Hardres?

- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
