Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Park Gate

Park Gate: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Margaret Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will you travel to a small place like Park Gate?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Our drinks bar can be added. We will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
