Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Canning Town
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests like watching their food being served. On the menu are fresh guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, and it is a good fit for day-after celebrations and food for evening guests.
For a wedding in Canning Town, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast or tacos as evening food can both work. Narrow streets mean we plan where the truck or trailer stops, and some venues may need a parking suspension from the council. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Canning Town, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening food is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
In Canning Town, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Canning Town
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Keir Hardie Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Cedd's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the wedding.
Working with your venue
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
