Mixed diets are easier with a Mexican wedding menu: there are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. For receptions after a small ceremony and late-evening wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, quesadillas and fresh guacamole and salsas and more.

We cover weddings in every part of the RG2 postcode area. Streets in the area include Teal Grove, Songbird Close and Skylark Way, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Let us know about severe allergies in writing
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
We pack down after service; the evening carries on without us.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or staff, and we will set it out in the quote.
How it 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, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Shinfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening food is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

DIY taco night or a caterer?
