Wedding Mexican catering in Chalton
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Wedding Mexican catering in Chalton, served fresh
Mixed diets are easier with a Mexican wedding menu: there are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. We serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, evening tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas, and it suits rustic barn weddings and blessings and vow renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Chalton, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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’ll do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Comparing your options
Compared with formal catering, a taco bar is relaxed and sociable, but with good presentation it still feels special. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Common questions in Chalton
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Ditcham Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can a taco bar feel special?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration, and it suits a relaxed day.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
