Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Hicks Forstal
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. At engagement celebrations and informal wedding breakfasts, we can serve evening tacos, quesadillas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Hicks Forstal often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Comparing your options
Compared with formal catering, a taco bar is relaxed and sociable, but it can still feel like a celebration. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adjust when we serve so the food is still hot.
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you and your venue.
Questions from Hicks Forstal
What’s the nearest station to Hicks Forstal for guests?
Guests can use Sturry station, about 2.2 miles south of Hicks Forstal.
Could you serve in Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
We can. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.
What if the photos overrun?
It happens at most weddings. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready, even if that moves.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, sunset in Hicks Forstal is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day
