Wedding Mexican catering in Lower Upnor, from our food truck or trailer
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Guests build their own plates from warm tortillas, fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. For civil partnerships and vow renewals and engagement parties at home, we will put together a menu of a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, evening tacos and loaded nachos and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Lower Upnor, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
For event organisers in Lower Upnor
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Lower Upnor, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
