Wedding Mexican catering near Rudmore
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A winter wedding in Rudmore gets dark early, at about 4:00pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We confirm access, the serving spot and the running order with the venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Wedding Mexican catering in Rudmore, from our truck or trailer
Your wedding menu is agreed with you, perhaps with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, alongside vegan choices like black beans or spiced mushrooms. It works well for gatherings the day after a wedding and marquee and garden weddings, with loaded nachos, burrito bowls and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
Weddings in a place like Rudmore often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A truck or trailer parked by the marquee fits right in. Let us know about gates and ground for the truck or trailer. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Weddings in Rudmore: venues, ceremonies and travel
Rudmore is about 1 mile north-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Weddings in Rudmore are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We cater in 19 places in Portsmouth, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
With a ceremony at a church such as The Grapes, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. Service can start as guests arrive. Planning photos in Alexandra Park? It’s worth checking the park’s rules first. Couples near the coast, within about 3 miles of Rudmore, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.

Rudmore questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Grapes?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater at coastal events near Rudmore?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Our drinks bar can be added. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
