Wedding Mexican catering for Saltwood events
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
About our wedding Mexican catering in Saltwood
We time service around your day: after the drinks reception, between the speeches or once evening guests arrive. We go over timings with your venue beforehand. It suits receptions after a small ceremony and rustic barn weddings, serving quesadillas, evening tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Rural weddings around Saltwood have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Saltwood
Which station is closest to Saltwood?
Guests can use Sandling station, about 0.9 miles north-west of Saltwood.
Could you come to a seaside event near Saltwood?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration, and it suits a relaxed day.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we add margaritas?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices too. We’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How long we’re needed on site
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Put us in touch with your venue
For a taco bar, fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests come up table by table if you like.
Quesadillas suit younger guests at the wedding breakfast.

Saltwood weddings: local tips
Saltwood is about 1 mile north of Hythe, in Kent. For a wedding in Saltwood, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Saltwood is one of 922 places in Kent where we can bring wedding Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Saltwood to Canterbury (14 miles away).
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. Service can start as guests arrive. Planning photos in Brockhill Country Park? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 6 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer. Couples near the coast, within about a mile of Saltwood, 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.
Here we cover the CT21 postcode area. Whether your wedding is on Old Saltwood Lane, The Green and Bartholomew Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Close by, we cover weddings in Hythe (1 mile south), Sandling (1 mile north-west), Pedlinge (1 mile west), Palmarsh (2 miles south-west) and Newingreen (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Ashford (10 miles north-west), Canterbury (14 miles north), Dover (10 miles north-east), Folkestone (4 miles east), Tower Hamlets (10 miles east) and Hawkinge (4 miles north-east).
A little further out are Royal Victoria Hospital (4.1 miles east) and Hythe Museum (0.8 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Tolsford Hill.
- Schools near Saltwood include Brockhill Park Performing Arts College (less than half a mile west)
- Local pubs include Red Lion Public House (0.6 miles south)
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Saltwood

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. By late September, sunset in Saltwood is around 7:00pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.

- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
