How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Late-September weddings in Merston see the sun go down at about 7:05pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. In late May it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We clear our area once service ends.

FAQs for Merston
How far is Merston from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Could you come to a seaside event near Merston?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
