How our wedding Mexican catering works in Bailey's Hard
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests enjoy seeing their food served fresh. It works well for marquee and garden weddings and relaxed wedding breakfasts, serving quesadillas, tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas.
A wedding in a small place like Bailey's Hard often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do a wedding bar?

Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Guacamole and salsas
- Nachos to share
- Evening tacos
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Margarita bar
- Burritos and bowls
What’s on the menu

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
