Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Check your date with us early
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
For a taco bar, fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests come up table by table if you like.
We can feed your photographer and band too.
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Alverstone
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. We serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas, and it’s a good fit for blessings and vow renewals and day-after wedding get-togethers.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Alverstone, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

- How many guests we are serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. December weddings in Alverstone lose the light by about 4:00pm, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Out-of-the-way places like Alverstone take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
