Rural weddings around Great Lea Common have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Space for guests to queue
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Great Lea Common: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Great Lea Common?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's 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.
Can we add margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added, with alcohol-free choices too. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can a taco bar feel special?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration, and it suits a relaxed day.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.

Should I do it myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
Evening food is served at the agreed time, such as after the cake is cut.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings fills out the taco bar.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. For a summer wedding in Great Lea Common, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- We plan the food with you: wedding breakfast, evening food or both.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
