Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Pentonville

Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Guests build their own plates from warm tortillas, fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. It suits food for evening guests and marquee and garden weddings, with evening tacos, quesadillas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.

Couples in Pentonville often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so check vehicle access with the venue early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our truck or trailer.

How it works

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. At midsummer, sunset in Pentonville is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
  2. Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
  3. We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
  4. We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
  5. Once service is done, we pack away quietly.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want service to start
  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Pentonville questions

We’re having a ceremony at Church of Saint Peter: can you cater afterwards?

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 will check the access.

Which station should guests use for Pentonville?

Guests can use Essex Road station, about 0.5 miles north-east of Pentonville.

Do you need electricity?

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.

Can you serve drinks at our wedding?

You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.

Can you keep it mild?

We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

What areas do you cover?

We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Do you cater in Pentonville?

Yes, we do. We serve at events in Pentonville and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Planning the serving area

Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:

  • A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
  • A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

Pentonville is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays, off-street space or a parking suspension.

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
  • Count day and evening guests separately
  • Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
  • Enquire early for summer Saturdays

We serve evening food when the running order says, such as after the cake is cut.

We can feed your photographer and band too.
