There’s something special about a country wedding near Colwood, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

What we offer

  • Burritos and bowls
  • Taco bar wedding breakfast
  • Nachos to share
  • Evening tacos
  • Margarita bar
  • Guacamole and salsas

DIY taco night versus a caterer

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.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Our caterer checklist

Organising for someone else?

Organising a club, school or community event in Colwood? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

What affects the price in Colwood

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • The number of people
  • Food, drinks or both
  • How many staff you need
  • Parking and the route in

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Details that help

To speed things up, tell us:

  • What power and water the site has
  • The date and rough timings
  • Expected numbers
  • How we drive in and where we can park

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Include suppliers who need feeding
  • Think about a covered space for wet weather
  • Enquire early for summer Saturdays
  • Connect us with your coordinator

We have allergen details for every dish, and every dish is labelled.

Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Colwood: your questions answered

How far is Colwood from London?

It’s about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Do you come out to small places like Colwood?

Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.

Is the food very hot?

It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Do you need power and water?

That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Can you cater for children?

Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.

How much does wedding Mexican catering cost in Colwood?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.

How much space 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. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

The process

Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. December weddings in Colwood lose the light by about 3:55pm, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan the food for your day.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
  5. We clear our area once service ends.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in

How to get a price
