About our wedding Mexican catering in Houghton
We time service around your day: after the drinks reception, between the speeches or once evening guests arrive. We go over timings with your venue beforehand. For day-after wedding get-togethers and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can serve loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Houghton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: 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 one caterer can cover more of the day.
FAQs for Houghton

Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 3.8 miles south of the centre.

Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can we add margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added, with alcohol-free choices too. We will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. For a summer wedding in Houghton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening tacos are generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
