Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Bowcombe
The truck or trailer adds a splash of colour to the day, and guests like watching their food being served. It works well for weddings in a marquee or garden and barn and farm weddings, serving loaded nachos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Near Bowcombe, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Think about a covered space for wet weather
If things run late, and we will adjust when we serve.
Extra salsas and toppings make the taco bar look generous.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. In Bowcombe, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We clear our area once service ends.
