Wedding Mexican catering for Swanley events
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Swanley, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening tacos are generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Wedding Mexican catering in Swanley, from our truck or trailer
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. It suits parties after a register office wedding and relaxed wedding breakfasts, with evening tacos, burrito bowls and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Weddings in a place like Swanley often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A food truck by the marquee suits that kind of day. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.

DIY taco night or 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.
Swanley: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Swanley close to London?
Roughly 14 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can we add margaritas?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving your guests. Your venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice will be needed for alcohol, and we’ll check that with you.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Around Swanley, historic houses include Lullingstone Castle (2.9 miles south) and Hall Place and Gardens (3.5 miles north). 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. Say your vows at a church like St Mary the Virgin, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. We can set up while the photos are taken. With the Kent Downs National Landscape within about 5 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about vehicle access and ground conditions for a truck or trailer.
For wedding Mexican catering in BR8, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include London Road, Station Road and High Street, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Comparing your options
Evening food is often pizza or bacon rolls. Tacos and loaded nachos feel a bit more special. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
