Wedding Mexican catering in Forest Gate, served fresh
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests enjoy seeing their food served fresh. For informal wedding breakfasts and big weddings with every diet, we can serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, tacos and evening tacos.
Couples in Forest Gate often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. A food truck needs a courtyard or forecourt it can reach, so ask your venue about vehicle access and loading early. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Questions from Forest Gate
What’s the nearest station to Forest Gate for guests?
Wanstead Park station, in Forest Gate itself.
Could you serve our guests after a service at A Radical Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you do the wedding breakfast and evening food?
Yes. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.

Planning a taco wedding in Forest Gate
Forest Gate is about 6 miles north-east of London, in Greater London. From the centre of Forest Gate to the outskirts, wedding Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is London, about 6 miles away.
Couples who choose a church such as A Radical Church for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. Put the station on your invitation: Forest Gate has its own station, Wanstead Park station.

From Elm Road, Ash Road and Cary Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Think about a covered space for wet weather

- Count day and evening guests separately
We pack down after service; the evening carries on without us.
Nachos to share work well later in the evening.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Forest Gate, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening food is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start with your date, venue, guest numbers and ideas for the day.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us when you want service to start
