Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Shacklewell
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: we plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options and give allergen information for every dish. It works well for barn and farm weddings and engagement parties at home, with burrito bowls, tacos and loaded nachos.
In Shacklewell, couples might book tacos for the wedding breakfast, the evening, or both. Narrow streets mean we plan the arrival carefully, and a parking suspension may be needed at some venues. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
As a London location, Shacklewell is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

For event organisers in Shacklewell
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Shacklewell? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Include suppliers who need feeding
We serve evening food when the running order says, such as after the cake is cut.
Quesadillas suit younger guests at the wedding breakfast.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A winter wedding in Shacklewell gets dark early, at about 3:55pm in December, so the evening food will be served after dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we’ll park.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Shacklewell questions
Is parking a problem for events in Shacklewell?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is it possible to have you in Stoke Newington Common?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
