Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Shalmsford Street
We time service around your day: after the drinks reception, between the speeches or once evening guests arrive. Timings are agreed with your venue in advance. We serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, which works well for big weddings with every diet and gatherings the day after a wedding.
For a smaller place like Shalmsford Street, a garden or farm wedding can be ideal. We need level ground and access, plus power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

If you’re weighing up a taco bar against a traditional menu, consider the venue, the diets and the style you want. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Questions from Shalmsford Street
Is Shalmsford Street close to London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much does wedding Mexican catering cost in Shalmsford Street?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Why choose wedding Mexican catering in Shalmsford Street?
It suits outdoor and rustic venues, where a formal sit-down meal is harder to manage.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Day-after celebrations
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Engagement parties
- Weddings in a marquee or garden
Couples who choose a church such as Church of St Mary for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. We can set up while the photos are taken.

- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- Travel and parking costs
- Staff numbers and hours
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
