Wedding Mexican catering for Handcross events
About our wedding Mexican catering in Handcross
We plan the wedding menu with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for parties after a register office wedding and vow renewals and blessings, serving tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and loaded nachos.
There is something special about a country wedding near Handcross, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In Handcross, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening food is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.

- Together we plan the food for your day.
