Wedding Mexican catering near Tilmanstone
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Add our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. It works well for blessings and vow renewals and food for evening guests, with evening tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and loaded nachos.
There is something special about a country wedding near Tilmanstone, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our truck or trailer.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about severe allergies in writing
- Share your running order, including speeches

Getting married in Tilmanstone?
Tilmanstone is about 4 miles west of Deal, in Kent. For wedding Mexican catering in Tilmanstone, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Tilmanstone is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Tilmanstone to Canterbury (10 miles away).
With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Andrew, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. Historic houses near Tilmanstone include Goodnestone Park (3.5 miles north-west) and Walmer Castle (4.8 miles east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles. Couples near the coast, within about 5 miles of Tilmanstone, 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.
We cover weddings in every part of CT14. Streets in the area include Upper Street, Vicarage Lane and Chapel Road, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For weddings just outside Tilmanstone, we cover Elvington (2 miles west), Heronden (2 miles north), Chillenden (2 miles north-west), Barfrestone (2 miles west) and Hammill Park (3 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Canterbury (10 miles north-west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (5 miles south), Folkestone (11 miles south-west), Ramsgate (10 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (12 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Deal Castle (4.7 miles east) and Buckland Hospital (5.7 miles south).
Tilmanstone: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Andrew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Tilmanstone?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready, even if that moves.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Tilmanstone.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Why choose wedding Mexican catering in Tilmanstone?
