Wedding Mexican catering for Great Shoddesden events
About our wedding Mexican catering in Great Shoddesden
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job without stopping the dancing for long. Popular choices include fresh guacamole and salsas, loaded nachos and tacos, which works well for weddings with mixed diets and blessings and vow renewals.
Near Great Shoddesden, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Do you cater in villages like Great Shoddesden?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. In Great Shoddesden, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
