Wedding Mexican catering for Penshurst events
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Wedding Mexican catering in Penshurst, served fresh
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. On the menu are fresh guacamole and salsas, evening tacos and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for sharing-style wedding meals and food for evening guests.
A wedding in a small place like Penshurst often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. For a summer wedding in Penshurst, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening food is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.

We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
