Mackerel's Common questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Is Mackerel's Common close to London?
It is about 37 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. 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.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
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 areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A winter wedding in Mackerel's Common gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we’ll park.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
