Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Friar's Gate
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and receptions after a small ceremony, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and tacos for your guests.
Rural weddings around Friar's Gate have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

FAQs for Friar's Gate
How far is Friar's Gate from central London?
It’s about 31 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
What about power on site?
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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you do the wedding breakfast and evening food?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like. Tell us what you have in mind.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
