Wedding Mexican catering in Lydden
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Lydden
Your wedding menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it suits parties after a register office wedding and blessings and vow renewals.
Rural weddings around Lydden have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. Late-September weddings in Lydden see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will move the serving time.
Extra salsas and toppings make the taco bar look generous.
Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and the style is more relaxed. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Questions from Lydden
Will you travel to a small place like Lydden?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. Service starts when your running order says.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What affects the price in Lydden
These are the factors that matter most:
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in

Lydden weddings: local tips
Lydden is about 3 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Lydden to the outskirts, wedding Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Lydden to Canterbury (about 11 miles away).
It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Kearsney station, about 1.6 miles south-east. For outdoor photos, Dover Western Heights is close by. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 6 miles from Lydden. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck. Couples near the coast, within about 5 miles of Lydden, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.
We serve at weddings all over the CT15 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your wedding is on St Marys Rise, Canterbury Road and The Close or anywhere nearby, we can bring wedding Mexican catering there, given access.
