About our wedding Mexican catering in Shiplake Cross
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job without stopping the dancing for long. It suits relaxed wedding breakfasts and vow renewals and blessings, serving evening tacos, tacos and fresh guacamole and salsas.
Near Shiplake Cross, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Step by step

- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.

Burrito bowls
A burrito bowl is a good alternative to tacos.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
