About our wedding Mexican catering in Gurnard
We plan the wedding menu with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits late-evening wedding food and big weddings with every diet, with fresh guacamole and salsas, evening tacos and quesadillas.
Near Gurnard, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
We pack down after service; the evening carries on without us.
We can feed your photographer and band too.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Quesadillas suit children and cautious eaters.
Burrito bowls
A bowl of rice, beans, filling and toppings.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
Out-of-the-way places like Gurnard take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Gurnard
Could you come to a seaside event near Gurnard?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you cater in villages like Gurnard?
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.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can a taco bar feel special?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
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.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
