How our wedding Mexican catering works in Newenden
The truck or trailer adds a splash of colour to the day, and guests like watching their food being served. It suits civil partnerships and vow renewals and gatherings the day after a wedding, with a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, fresh guacamole and salsas and quesadillas.
Rural weddings around Newenden have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Occasions we cater for in Newenden
It feels like your wedding, not a standard menu, especially if you love Mexican food.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Engagement parties at home
- Vow renewals and blessings
- Farm and barn venues

Couples who choose a church such as Parish Church of St Peter for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. We can set up while the photos are taken.

- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
If things run late, and we will adjust when we serve.
Quesadillas suit younger guests at the wedding breakfast.
Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
