Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Shirley
Our drinks bar can serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. We will go through the licensing with you and your venue. It works well for receptions after an intimate ceremony and barn and farm weddings, serving fresh guacamole and salsas, evening tacos and quesadillas.
For a wedding in Shirley, a taco bar for the wedding breakfast or tacos as evening food can both work. Narrow streets mean we plan the arrival carefully, and some venues may need a parking suspension from the council. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

About the menu
Evening tacos
Tacos from the hatch, quick to serve and easy to eat.
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, made fresh for the taco bar.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
As a London location, Shirley is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading take planning: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Evening tacos
- Guacamole and salsas
- Nachos to share
- Burritos and bowls
- Margarita bar
Who books wedding Mexican catering in Shirley?
Couples choose Mexican street food because it feels relaxed and generous, and because guests talk about it afterwards.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Vow renewals and blessings
- Barn and farm weddings
- Garden and marquee weddings
- Receptions after an intimate ceremony
Couples who choose a church such as St George The Martyr Church for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. Service can start as guests arrive.
