Otham: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St Nicholas's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We can. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Our drinks bar can be added. We’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Wedding Mexican catering in Otham, from our truck or trailer
Our truck or trailer suits marquee, barn and garden weddings, as long as we can drive in safely and park on level ground. It works well for parties after a register office wedding and day-after wedding get-togethers, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and loaded nachos.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. December weddings in Otham lose the light by about 3:50pm, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we’ll park.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Planning help
What wedding Mexican catering costs
Contact us for a quote, and the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send a quick message through our quote form.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Share your running order, including speeches
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Nachos to share work well later in the evening.
Wedding venues and access near Otham

We cater in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 22 miles away.
If you’re hoping for photos in Mote Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings.

A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 4 miles from Otham. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.
