Which station is closest to Newhaven?

Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.

We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Wedding Mexican catering in Newhaven, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: we plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options and give allergen information for every dish. At informal wedding breakfasts and evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, fresh guacamole and salsas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and more.
A wedding in Newhaven might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. A taco truck suits that well: we can set up during the photos, ready for the meal. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. December weddings in Newhaven lose the light by about 3:55pm, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
