Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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 our wedding Mexican catering works in Houghton
We plan the wedding menu with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. We serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, fresh guacamole and salsas and tacos, and it’s a good fit for civil partnerships and vow renewals and day-after celebrations.
Rural weddings around Houghton have a charm of their own, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Houghton
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Arundel Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and move the serving time if needed.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
