Wedding Mexican catering in Shelvin, served fresh
For weddings in Shelvin and nearby, we can cater one part of the day or both main meals. Tell us your plans and we will suggest what fits. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas, which works well for receptions after a small ceremony and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Near Shelvin, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a food truck comes into its own: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Whether you need disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September weddings in Shelvin see the sun go down at about 7:00pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. In late May it stays light until about 8:45pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We clear our area once service ends.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from Shelvin
How far is Shelvin from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What do you serve?
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.
