Wedding Mexican catering in Rochester
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Rochester
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or loaded nachos from our truck or trailer fit the bill without stopping the dancing for long. It suits parties after a register office wedding and food for evening guests, with loaded nachos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and tacos.
Couples in Rochester often keep it personal, with a marquee or a hall nearby. A taco bar for the wedding breakfast, or tacos for the evening, fits that style. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Rochester: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.

Rochester has its own station: Rochester station.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Questions to ask before you book
- A clear list of what’s included
- Staff numbers and hours
- When payment is due
- If the price includes VAT
Should I do it 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.
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.
