How our wedding Mexican catering works in West Hythe
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there is safe access and level, firm ground. At late-evening wedding food and weddings with mixed diets, we can serve tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
Rural weddings around West Hythe have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Think about a covered space for wet weather
- Count day and evening guests separately
We serve evening food when the running order says, often after the first dance.
Quesadillas go down well with children at the wedding breakfast.
Comparing your options
If you’re weighing up a taco bar against a traditional menu, consider the venue, the diets and the style you want. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. In West Hythe, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
