Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Blackwater
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. Popular choices include evening tacos, burrito bowls and tacos, which works well for civil partnerships and vow renewals and parties after a register office wedding.
In Blackwater, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a personal choice. A food truck by the marquee suits that kind of day. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

- When final numbers are due
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Blackwater, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening tacos are generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- We plan the food with you: wedding breakfast, evening food or both.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Blackwater
Which station is closest to Blackwater?
Blackwater station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Barnabas Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
