Wedding Mexican catering for Dorking events
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. A winter wedding in Dorking gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.

Wedding Mexican catering in Dorking, from our truck or trailer
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. One option is a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos later on. On the menu are a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits gatherings the day after a wedding and marquee and garden weddings.
For a wedding in Dorking, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with a car park keeps things personal. Tacos for the wedding breakfast or the evening suit that kind of day, as long as the truck or trailer can get in. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Nearby historic houses include Polesden Lacey (2.7 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on outside caterers and vehicles.

- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Questions from Dorking
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Of course. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.
Do you do a wedding bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving your guests. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
