Wedding Mexican catering for Shadoxhurst events
Wedding Mexican catering in Shadoxhurst, served fresh
We plan the wedding menu with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, and it suits vow renewals and blessings and engagement parties at home.
Rural weddings around Shadoxhurst have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
- Include suppliers who need feeding
Evening food is served at the agreed time, such as after the cake is cut.
We can feed your photographer and band too.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Common questions in Shadoxhurst
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What does wedding Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. December weddings in Shadoxhurst lose the light by about 3:50pm, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- We plan the food with you: wedding breakfast, evening food or both.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
