Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Ashlett
For weddings in Ashlett and nearby, we can cater one part of the day or both main meals. Tell us your plans and we will suggest what fits. Popular choices include burrito bowls, evening tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas, and it’s a good fit for weddings in a marquee or garden and big weddings with every diet.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Ashlett, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Ashlett
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cater at coastal events near Ashlett?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What if the photos overrun?
We plan for it. Service starts when your running order says.
Can you serve drinks at our wedding?
Our drinks bar can be added. We’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Who books wedding Mexican catering in Ashlett?
Evening tacos keep the party going, since they’re fast and easy to eat standing up.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We are happy to cater:
- Weddings with mixed diets
- Farm and barn venues
- Blessings and vow renewals
- Gatherings the day after a wedding
Wedding guests without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Hamble station, about 3.1 miles north.

- Space, access, power and water needs
- How bad weather is handled
Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?
Pizza and bacon rolls are common evening choices. Evening tacos are something different, and they’re just as easy to eat. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Send us the running order and speech times
For a taco bar, fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests can be called up by table.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings fills out the taco bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.
