Wedding Mexican catering near Nettlecombe
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Wedding Mexican catering in Nettlecombe, served fresh
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. We serve quesadillas, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and loaded nachos, and it suits day-after celebrations and engagement parties.
Rural weddings around Nettlecombe 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. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Nettlecombe: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Nettlecombe?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church?
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.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready, even if that moves.
Can a taco bar feel special?
Served well, it feels generous and special.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. For a summer wedding in Nettlecombe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening tacos are normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Name one person we can ask on the day

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.

- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on

For somewhere as remote as Nettlecombe, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.

- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
On the day, we work with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Nachos to share work well later in the evening.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The menu you choose
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just send a quick message through our quote form.
