Wedding Mexican catering in Ottinge, served fresh
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. It works well for weddings with mixed diets and receptions after a small ceremony, serving burrito bowls, loaded nachos and evening tacos.
There is something special about a country wedding near Ottinge, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Wedding venues and access near Ottinge
Ottinge is about 5 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. From the centre of Ottinge 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 cater in 922 places in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Ottinge to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Close to Ottinge are historic houses such as Acrise Place (1.6 miles east) and Westenhanger Castle (4.2 miles south-west). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. Put the station on your invitation: Sandling station is about 3.7 miles away. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 2 miles from Ottinge. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck. Couples near the coast, within about 6 miles of Ottinge, 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.
For wedding Mexican catering in CT4, we plan around your venue and the route in. Whether your wedding is on Canterbury Road, Boyke Lane and Shuttlesfield Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Ottinge, we also cover Lyminge (1 mile south-west), Rhodes Minnis (1 mile west), Woodland (1 mile west), Skeete (2 miles south-west) and Hemsted (2 miles west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (10 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (9 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Whitstable (15 miles north) and Deal (14 miles east).
A little further out are Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (3 miles south) and Folkestone Castle (4 miles south-east). Open spaces near Ottinge include Cheriton Hill.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September weddings in Ottinge 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.

Common questions in Ottinge
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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.
Which station should guests use for Ottinge?
Sandling station, about 3.7 miles south of the centre.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cover Ottinge?
We do. We serve at events in Ottinge and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
