About our wedding Mexican catering in Downside
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: we plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options and give allergen information for every dish. It works well for weddings with lots of dietary needs and sharing-style wedding meals, serving a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, loaded nachos and evening tacos.
Near Downside, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

FAQs for Downside
Is Downside close to London?
It is about 19 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers and we will plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on the presentation and the venue.

Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
