About our wedding Mexican catering in Downton
We can do the wedding breakfast, evening food, or the two together. One option is a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos later on. At receptions after an intimate ceremony and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of fresh guacamole and salsas, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and tacos.
A wedding in a small place like Downton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
