Mixed diets are easier with a Mexican wedding menu: there are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish.

Diets, allergies and planning

We pack down after service; you carry on celebrating.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we’ll set it out in the quote.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Play Hatch
Will you travel to a small place like Play Hatch?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's Church?
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.
Can a taco bar feel special?
Served well, it feels generous and special.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can we add margaritas?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and serve when you’re ready.
