Wedding Mexican catering in Barkingside, from our food truck or trailer
We time service around your day: whether that is straight after the photos or later in the evening. We go over timings with your venue beforehand. For parties after a register office wedding and marquee and garden weddings, we’ll put together a menu of fresh guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast for your guests.
London weddings around Barkingside often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. A food truck needs a courtyard or forecourt it can reach, so check vehicle access with the venue early. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A winter wedding in Barkingside gets dark early, at about 3:50pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Common questions in Barkingside
Where would you park in Barkingside?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Which station should guests use for Barkingside?
Guests can use Seven Kings station, about 1.6 miles south of Barkingside.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
