How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Sandgate, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

How our wedding Mexican catering works in Sandgate
Our drinks bar can serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. We serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for garden and marquee weddings and day-after celebrations.
Near Sandgate, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a food truck comes into its own: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

- How long we are needed on site

Common questions in Sandgate
Which station should guests use for Sandgate?
Guests can use Folkestone West station, about 0.8 miles north-east of Sandgate.
Could you come to a seaside event near Sandgate?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Ask any guests with severe allergies to speak to us first.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What if the photos overrun?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and serve when you are ready.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
On the day, we work with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you do not have to.
We can feed your photographer and band too if you add them to the final count.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
- Space for guests to queue
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Nachos to share
