Wedding Mexican catering near Riseden
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Riseden
Service is planned around your running order: whether that’s straight after the photos or later in the evening. Timings are agreed with your venue in advance. It suits blessings and vow renewals and evening wedding food, with a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, burrito bowls and evening tacos.
Rural weddings around Riseden 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. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.

Riseden: your questions answered
How far is Riseden from central London?
It is about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cater in villages like Riseden?
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 handle dietary needs at our wedding?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can a taco bar feel special?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.

The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September weddings in Riseden see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
