Wedding Mexican catering in Shalden Green
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- The number of people
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
- A picture of where we’d park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Wedding Mexican catering in Shalden Green, from our truck or trailer
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. At blessings and vow renewals and big weddings with every diet, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Near Shalden Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a food truck comes into its own: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Shalden Green
How far is Shalden Green from central London?
It is about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Shalden Green?
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.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
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.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. We bring our kitchen with us, and a taco bar feels more relaxed. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
