Wedding Mexican catering in Upchurch
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Wedding Mexican catering in Upchurch, served fresh
Your wedding menu is agreed with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits civil partnerships and vow renewals and sharing-style wedding meals, with burrito bowls, fresh guacamole and salsas and tacos.
Near Upchurch, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Bishop Saltings nearby could make a lovely backdrop for photos.

Questions from Upchurch
What’s the nearest station to Upchurch for guests?
Rainham (Kent) station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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.
What does wedding Mexican catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you cover Upchurch?
We do. Upchurch is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on the presentation and the venue.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally 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.
Who books wedding Mexican catering in Upchurch?

How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. December weddings in Upchurch lose the light by about 3:50pm, so the evening food will be served after dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
