Lydd weddings: local tips

With a ceremony at a church such as All Saints Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.

Wedding Mexican catering in Lydd, served fresh
For weddings in Lydd and nearby, we can cater one part of the day or both main meals. Tell us your plans and we’ll suggest what fits. At big weddings with every diet and farm and barn venues, we will put together a menu of fresh guacamole and salsas, evening tacos and tacos for your guests.
In Lydd, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a personal choice. A food truck by the marquee suits that kind of day. Let us know about gates and ground for the truck or trailer. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Comparing your options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Lydd, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening tacos are generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
