Wedding Mexican catering in Grateley, served fresh
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. It suits marquee and garden weddings and rustic barn weddings, with tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Grateley, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
The menu, item by item
Burrito bowls
A burrito bowl is a good alternative to tacos.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas suit children and cautious eaters.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A winter wedding in Grateley gets dark early, at about 4:00pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the 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 the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.

Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings fills out the taco bar.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Grateley? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Grateley questions
How far is Grateley from central London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you handle dietary needs at our wedding?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Ask any guests with severe allergies to speak to us first.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals. Share your plans and we will suggest a menu.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
