Wedding Mexican catering in Selsted, from our truck or trailer
We cater weddings in and around Selsted, from garden celebrations to marquee receptions. Tell us your plans and we will suggest what fits. Popular choices include evening tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits engagement parties and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Selsted, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Selsted: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Selsted?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Selsted?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on the presentation and the venue.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
How spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
How much does wedding Mexican catering cost in Selsted?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. In Selsted, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening tacos are generally 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.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
- Check your date with us early
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
We have allergen details for every dish, and every dish is labelled at the serving point.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or staff, and we will set it out in the quote.
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Selsted weddings: local tips
Selsted is about 5 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. We cater weddings at homes, gardens and venues in Selsted. We serve in all 922 towns and villages across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Selsted to Canterbury (9 miles away).
It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Shepherds Well station, about 3.2 miles north-east. Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (2.2 miles south-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles. Couples near Selsted have the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 3 miles, if a countryside setting appeals. Barns and fields there can be reached down narrow tracks, so we check the route with the venue. Couples near the coast, within about 6 miles of Selsted, 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.
