Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Swingfield Minnis
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests like watching their food being served. It suits gatherings the day after a wedding and engagement parties at home, serving a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Near Swingfield Minnis, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Questions from Swingfield Minnis
Will you travel to a small place like Swingfield Minnis?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Swingfield Minnis?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration, and it suits a relaxed day.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can we add margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added, with alcohol-free choices too. We’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Comparing your options
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and the style is more relaxed. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A winter wedding in Swingfield Minnis gets dark early, at about 3:50pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.

Planning a taco wedding in Swingfield Minnis
Swingfield Minnis is about 4 miles north of Folkestone, in Kent. We serve at weddings in homes, gardens and venues in Swingfield Minnis. We cover 922 places across Kent. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Swingfield Minnis to Canterbury (10 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Acrise Place (1.5 miles south-west). 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. For outdoor photos, Cheriton Hill is close by. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 3 miles from Swingfield Minnis. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck. Couples near the coast, within about 5 miles of Swingfield Minnis, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.
For wedding Mexican catering in CT15, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. We can cater a wedding on streets such as Canterbury Road and Hoad Road or the roads around them. You’ll find Swingfield Minnis on the A260, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Nearby, we also cater weddings in Selsted (1 mile north), Densole (1 mile south), Wootton (2 miles north), Hawkinge (2 miles south) and Old Hawkinge (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ashford (13 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (6 miles east), Folkestone (4 miles south), Whitstable (15 miles north) and Deal (11 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Elham Valley Countryside Centre And Railway Museum (3.9 miles south-west) and Royal Victoria Hospital (4.1 miles south). The countryside around Swingfield Minnis includes Cheriton Hill.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the serving area

- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
