How our wedding Mexican catering works in Poplar
Our truck or trailer suits marquee, barn and garden weddings, as long as we can drive in safely and park on level ground. Popular choices include loaded nachos, burrito bowls and evening tacos, and it suits gatherings the day after a wedding and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
London weddings around Poplar often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so ask your venue about vehicle access and loading early. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Nearby historic houses include Queen's House (1.9 miles south) and Mansion House (3.1 miles west). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as Poplar has its own station, Canary Wharf station.
For wedding Mexican catering in E14, SE16 and E22, we plan around your venue and the route in and timings. We can cater a wedding on streets such as Market Way, Castor Lane and Dockyard Lane.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Poplar
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Bartlett Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Where would you park in Poplar?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
We can. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How it compares
Evening food is often pizza or bacon rolls. Evening tacos are something different, and they’re just as easy to eat. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. At midsummer, sunset in Poplar is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue, around speeches and photos.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Name one person we can ask on the day
How to get a price

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
