About our wedding Mexican catering in Shipbourne
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there is safe access and level, firm ground. At rustic barn weddings and gatherings the day after a wedding, we’ll put together a menu of fresh guacamole and salsas, tacos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast for your guests.
Near Shipbourne, 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September weddings in Shipbourne see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. In late May it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We clear our area once service ends.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Getting married in Shipbourne?

Group shots in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve could be lovely, though some parks ask for notice or a permit, so look into it. With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Giles, 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. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer.

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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Shipbourne questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Giles?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

Guests can use Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 3.3 miles north of Shipbourne.
Do you cover Shipbourne?
We do. We serve at events in Shipbourne and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can a taco bar feel special?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration, and it suits a relaxed day.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.

Space, access and the venue

- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Permission from the venue or landowner

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Wedding Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with formal catering, a taco bar is relaxed and sociable, but it can still feel like a celebration. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
