Comparing your options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian and vegan guests. Separate fillings and toppings cover every diet. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

How our wedding Mexican catering works in Chattenden
We plan the wedding menu with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for relaxed wedding breakfasts and marquee and garden weddings, with tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
There is something special about a country wedding near Chattenden, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
We pack down after service; the evening carries on without us.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings fills out the taco bar.

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A winter wedding in Chattenden gets dark early, at about 3:50pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
