Wedding Mexican catering in Forestdale, served fresh
Evening guests want something hot, quick and filling, and tacos or loaded nachos from our food truck or trailer fit the bill without stopping the dancing for long. It works well for food for evening guests and parties after a register office wedding, with quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos.
London weddings around Forestdale often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so ask your venue about vehicle access and loading early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
In Forestdale, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Forestdale

- Evening tacos
- Burritos and bowls

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A winter wedding in Forestdale gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we’ll park.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

FAQs for Forestdale
Is it possible to have you in Addington Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Where would you park in Forestdale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Forestdale.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear 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 serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
