Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Blackfen
Service is planned around your running order: after the drinks reception, between the speeches or once evening guests arrive. We go over timings with your venue beforehand. Popular choices include loaded nachos, quesadillas and tacos, and it’s a good fit for vow renewals and blessings and weddings with lots of dietary needs.
Couples in Blackfen often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. A food truck needs a courtyard or forecourt it can reach, so check vehicle access with the venue early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
Blackfen is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A winter wedding in Blackfen gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
