Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Hellingly
The truck or trailer adds a splash of colour to the day, and guests like watching their food being served. At farm and barn venues and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of quesadillas, burrito bowls and fresh guacamole and salsas and more.
Weddings in a place like Hellingly often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A food truck by the marquee suits that kind of day. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. For a summer wedding in Hellingly, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening tacos are normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Questions from Hellingly
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?

Which station is closest to Hellingly?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Can you cater for children?

Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
How it compares
Compared with formal catering, a taco bar is relaxed and sociable, but with good presentation it still feels special. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
