About our wedding Mexican catering in Smarden
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. At day-after celebrations and food for evening guests, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh guacamole and salsas and tacos for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Smarden, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. For a summer wedding in Smarden, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is 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 the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Smarden: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Smarden for guests?
Guests can use Pluckley station, about 2.6 miles east of Smarden.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
