Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Ockham
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 turns into part of the fun. Popular choices include quesadillas, fresh guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for vow renewals and blessings and weddings with mixed diets.
A wedding in a small place like Ockham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Ockham
Is Ockham close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Ockham for guests?
The closest is Horsley station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.

Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Yes, we do. Ockham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. For a summer wedding in Ockham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening food is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
