Wedding Mexican catering in Nettlestone
Wedding Mexican catering in Nettlestone, from our food truck or trailer
A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests like watching their food being served. On the menu are loaded nachos, tacos and evening tacos, and it is a good fit for blessings and vow renewals and relaxed wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Nettlestone often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In Nettlestone, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, 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.

- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Nettlestone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will 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’ll advise.
