About our wedding Mexican catering in Downend
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. It works well for day-after wedding get-togethers and farm and barn venues, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, burrito bowls and quesadillas.
Rural weddings around Downend have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Downend, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day

What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Downend
How far is Downend from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you come to events in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and move the serving time if needed.
How it compares
A taco bar is less formal than a plated meal, but it can still feel like a celebration. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
