Questions from Cowden
Is Cowden close to London?
It’s about 26 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Cowden
We can do the wedding breakfast, evening food, or the two together. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. We serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it is a good fit for blessings and vow renewals and garden and marquee weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Cowden, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. By late September, sunset in Cowden is around 7:05pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. In late May it stays light until about 8:50pm.

- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Before we arrive
