Wedding Mexican catering in Red Rice, served fresh
Your wedding menu is agreed with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It suits sharing-style wedding meals and gatherings the day after a wedding, with evening tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and burrito bowls.
Rural weddings around Red Rice have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Red Rice weddings: local tips
Red Rice is about 3 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Whether your wedding is in the middle of Red Rice or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Red Rice to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Andover station, about 2.6 miles north-east. With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Red Rice? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers and vehicles
Allergen information is available for every dish, and every dish is labelled.
We can feed your photographer and band too.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. December weddings in Red Rice lose the light by about 4:00pm, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we’ll park.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We clear our area once service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
