Wedding Mexican catering in Shepway
About our wedding Mexican catering in Shepway
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests like watching their food being served. It works well for informal wedding breakfasts and engagement parties, with a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
For a smaller place like Shepway, a garden or farm wedding can be ideal. We will need level, firm ground and a way to reach it. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Getting married in Shepway?
Shepway is about 1 mile south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. We bring wedding Mexican catering to gardens, halls and venues around Shepway and nearby villages. Shepway is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 23 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Stoneacre (1.4 miles east) and Leeds Castle (3.6 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. It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Maidstone West station, about 1.7 miles north-west. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Shepway, with rural settings that could suit a wedding. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer.
For wedding Mexican catering in ME15, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Derby Road, Devon Road and Surrey Road, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Shepway, we also cover Willington (1 mile east), Park Wood (1 mile south), Otham (1 mile south-east), Maidstone (1 mile north-west) and Weavering (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Sittingbourne (10 miles north-east), Royal Tunbridge Wells (15 miles south-west), Gravesend (14 miles north-west), Tonbridge (12 miles west), Faversham (15 miles east) and Northfleet (15 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include KIMS hospital (2.2 miles north) and Allington Castle (3.1 miles north-west). Open spaces near Shepway include Detling Hill.

Events we cater in Shepway
It handles mixed diets without fuss, which helps when the guest list is long.
Here are some of the events we cater in Shepway and Kent:
- Engagement celebrations
- Vow renewals and blessings
- Weddings in a marquee or garden
- Informal wedding breakfasts
With a ceremony at a church such as St Martin's Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. For a summer wedding in Shepway, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening food is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check your date with us early
- Let us know about severe allergies in writing
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
Allergen information is available for every dish, and dishes are labelled at the serving point.
Nachos to share work well later in the evening.
Common questions in Shepway
Could you serve in Mote Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Martin's Church?
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’ll check the access.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
