Wedding Mexican catering in Monkton
FAQs for Monkton
We’re having a ceremony at Church of Saint Mary Magdalene: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station should guests use for Monkton?
Guests can use Minster station, about 1.8 miles south-east of Monkton.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
What does wedding Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run 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.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we will plan for them.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and serve when you’re ready.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Wedding Mexican catering in Monkton, served fresh
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Guests build their own plates from warm tortillas, fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. At sharing-style wedding meals and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, evening tacos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
Near Monkton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, sunset in Monkton is around 7:00pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:45pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- We plan the food with you: wedding breakfast, evening food or both.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
