How our wedding Mexican catering works in Barking Riverside
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: there are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. It suits relaxed wedding breakfasts and receptions after a small ceremony, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, burrito bowls and tacos.
Couples in Barking Riverside often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. A food truck needs a courtyard or forecourt it can reach, so ask your venue about vehicle access and loading early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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 will do the serving.
