Wedding Mexican catering in Shottenden
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Wedding Mexican catering in Shottenden, from our truck or trailer
Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free options too. We will check the licensing with you and your venue. On the menu are burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for civil partnerships and vow renewals and day-after wedding get-togethers.
A wedding in a small place like Shottenden often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Where the truck can go in Shottenden
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Burritos and bowls
- Evening tacos

Getting married in Shottenden?
Shottenden is about 5 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your wedding is in the CT4 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Shottenden is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we can bring wedding Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (3.7 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 5 miles from Shottenden. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.
This part of Kent takes in CT4, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Shottenden Road, Goldups Lane and Beaney's Lane, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. If your venue is just outside Shottenden, we also cover Perrywood (1 mile north), Selling (1 mile north), Hogben's Hill (2 miles north), Molash (2 miles south-west) and Mountain Street (2 miles south-east).
