Wedding Mexican catering in Paddlesworth
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Paddlesworth
Our food truck or trailer suits marquee, barn and garden weddings, as long as we can drive in safely and park on level ground. At engagement parties and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas for your guests.
Near Paddlesworth, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Paddlesworth: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Benedict's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is it possible to have you in Leybourne Lakes Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What if the photos overrun?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
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 picture of the space and the way in.

What affects the price in Paddlesworth
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. For a summer wedding in Paddlesworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for guests to queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Nachos to share
- Burritos and bowls

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
