Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Waltham
We plan the wedding menu with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits relaxed wedding breakfasts and day-after celebrations, with loaded nachos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Near Waltham, 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. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Space, access and the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning a taco wedding in Waltham
Waltham is about 6 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Tell us where your wedding in Waltham will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
Put the station on your invitation: the nearest station is Chilham station, about 3.7 miles north-west. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Kent Downs National Landscape is no more than about 4 miles from Waltham. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.

We also serve at weddings in Stelling Minnis (2 miles east), Bossingham (2 miles east), Stowting Common (4 miles south), Stowting (4 miles south) and Rhodes Minnis (4 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ashford (8 miles south-west), Canterbury (6 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles east), Folkestone (10 miles south-east), Whitstable (11 miles north) and Faversham (10 miles north-west).

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, sunset in Waltham is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Waltham
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Waltham from London?
It is about 52 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What if the timings change?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and move the serving time if needed.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
