Wedding Mexican catering in Lydd-on-Sea
Wedding Mexican catering in Lydd-on-Sea, from our truck or trailer
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. Popular choices include a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits civil partnerships and vow renewals and rustic barn weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Lydd-on-Sea often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Why choose wedding Mexican catering in Lydd-on-Sea?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Late-September weddings in Lydd-on-Sea see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. In late May it stays light until about 8:45pm.

- 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.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Lydd-on-Sea
Do you come out to small places like Lydd-on-Sea?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter's?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.

Served well, it feels generous and special.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
