Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
Merstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Merstone
- Guacamole and salsas
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Margarita bar

Wedding Mexican catering in Merstone, from our truck or trailer
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. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and evening tacos, which works well for weddings with lots of dietary needs and rustic barn weddings.
Rural weddings around Merstone have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Common questions in Merstone
Do you cater at coastal events near Merstone?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you come out to small places like Merstone?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
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 go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We can. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
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, guacamole and toppings.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Merstone, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
