About our wedding Mexican catering in Ripple
Your wedding menu is agreed with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits civil partnerships and vow renewals and late-evening wedding food, serving evening tacos, loaded nachos and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Rural weddings around Ripple have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

The menu, item by item
Evening tacos
Hot tacos served from the truck or trailer for evening guests, easy to eat standing up.
Taco bar wedding breakfast
A taco bar makes a relaxed main meal, with every diet covered. Fillings are agreed with you.
Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A winter wedding in Ripple gets dark early, at about 3:50pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Wedding Mexican catering or something else?
Evening food is often pizza or bacon rolls. Evening tacos are something different. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Nachos to share
- Evening tacos
- Burritos and bowls
- Guacamole and salsas
- Margarita bar
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
If things run late, and we will adjust when we serve so the food is still hot.
Quesadillas suit younger guests.
Getting married in Ripple?
Ripple is about 2 miles south-west of Deal, in Kent. For a wedding in Ripple, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cater in all 922 towns and villages in Kent, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Walmer Castle (1.9 miles east). 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 Mary the Virgin, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. A wedding by the sea is possible from Ripple, with the coast within about 3 miles. Seafront venues may need permission for vehicles, and we plan for the breeze.
This part of Kent takes in CT14, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean a wedding at a home with a drive on Mongeham Road, Sunnyside Close and Sutton Lane or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Great Mongeham (1 mile north), Mill Hill (1 mile north-east), Northbourne (2 miles north-west), Sholden Meadows (2 miles north) and Sholden (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (13 miles north-west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (5 miles south-west), Folkestone (12 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north) and Broadstairs (12 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Victoria Hospital (5.5 miles south-west) and Kent Museum of the Moving Image (2.4 miles north-east).
- Local schools include Goodwin Academy (1.8 miles north-east)
Ripple: your questions answered
Is Ripple close to London?
It is about 66 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What if the photos overrun?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and move the serving time if needed.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
Yes. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
