Wedding Mexican catering in Effingham, from our truck or trailer
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. For relaxed wedding breakfasts and weddings with mixed diets, we can serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, quesadillas and fresh guacamole and salsas.
There is something special about a country wedding near Effingham, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your wedding. December weddings in Effingham lose the light by about 3:55pm, 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 access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning help
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Effingham
Do you cater in villages like Effingham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills 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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What if the photos overrun?
We plan for it. Service starts when your running order says.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What affects the price in Effingham
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Staff for serving and the bar
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Comparing your options
A taco bar is less formal than a plated meal, but with good presentation it still feels special. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A clear quote
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
