Wedding Mexican catering in Setley
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Setley
We cater weddings in and around Setley, from garden celebrations to marquee receptions. Share your plans and we’ll suggest a menu. We serve fresh guacamole and salsas, loaded nachos and evening tacos, and it suits food for evening guests and marquee and garden weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Setley often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We prepare everything fresh for your wedding and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
Wedding Mexican catering or something else?
Buffets can mean food waiting for a while. Tacos go straight from the hatch to the plate when guests are ready. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Barn and farm weddings

Say your vows at a church like Church of St Nicholas, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. We can set up while the photos are taken.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Setley
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
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 in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals. Share your plans and we’ll suggest a menu.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and move the serving time if needed.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in Setley is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
