Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Chinatown

Evening guests want something hot, quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job without stopping the dancing for long. On the menu are burrito bowls, fresh guacamole and salsas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, and it is a good fit for evening wedding food and relaxed wedding breakfasts.

London weddings around Chinatown often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so ask your venue about vehicle access and loading early. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Questions to ask before you book

Popular choices

Evening tacos

Hot tacos served from the truck or trailer for evening guests, quick to serve and easy to eat.

Taco bar wedding breakfast

Warm tortillas, a choice of fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, laid out for guests to build their own.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Step by step

From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your wedding. For a summer wedding in Chinatown, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening food is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
  2. You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
  3. We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
  4. On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
  5. We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Give us a contact for the day

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Chinatown

Which station should guests use for Chinatown?

Tottenham Court Road station, in Chinatown itself.

Could you serve in St Anne's Churchyard?

Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.

What if the weather’s bad?

We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Can we add margaritas?

You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.

Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?

Diets are planned in advance and kept separate. Ask any guests with severe allergies to speak to us first.

Is the food very hot?

It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

What does wedding Mexican catering cost?

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

What we need at the venue

The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:

  • Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
  • A serving point within easy walk of the reception
  • Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch

London streets around Chinatown can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
