Wedding Mexican catering in Thanington
Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Thanington
Our truck or trailer suits marquee, barn and garden weddings, as long as we can drive in safely and park on level ground. We serve tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and quesadillas, which works well for civil partnerships and vow renewals and evening wedding food.
For a smaller place like Thanington, a garden or farm wedding can be ideal. We’ll need level, firm ground and a way to reach it, plus power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Thanington? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll move the serving time.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings fills out the taco bar.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. For a summer wedding in Thanington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Thanington is about 1 mile south-west of Wincheap, in Kent. Give us the address of your wedding in Thanington, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Thanington is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover.
A wedding party gathering in Whitehall Meadows may need the park owner’s agreement, so ask before the day.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Thanington
Is it possible to have you in Whitehall Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Which station is closest to Thanington?
The closest is Canterbury East station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
We can. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Wedding Mexican catering or something else?

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
