How our wedding Mexican catering works in Painter's Forstal
We can do the wedding breakfast, evening food, or the two together. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. At receptions after an intimate ceremony and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we can serve burrito bowls, evening tacos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and more.
Near Painter's Forstal, 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. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Where the truck can go in Painter's Forstal
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours

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

Wedding venues and access near Painter's Forstal
Painter's Forstal is about 2 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your wedding is in the ME13 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (1.8 miles south). 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. With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.

How it compares
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and the style is more relaxed. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
