Wedding Mexican catering in Harbledown, from our food truck or trailer
Evening guests want something hot, quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job without stopping the dancing for long. We serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, fresh guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos, and it suits engagement parties at home and sharing-style wedding meals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Harbledown, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
A taco bar is laid out on a table, and guests come up table by table if you like.
Nachos to share work well later in the evening.

Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Harbledown, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening food is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
