Wedding Mexican catering in Grain, served fresh
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 rustic barn weddings and food for evening guests, we will put together a menu of a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, evening tacos and quesadillas for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Grain often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Grain: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Grain from central London?
It’s about 35 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the wedding.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Where the truck can go in Grain
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Evening tacos
- Margarita bar
- Guacamole and salsas
- Nachos to share
- Burritos and bowls
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
