About our wedding Mexican catering in Shirley Oaks
A Mexican menu makes mixed diets easier: there are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, corn tortillas for gluten-free guests and allergen information for every dish. At late-evening wedding food and blessings and vow renewals, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, quesadillas and fresh guacamole and salsas and more.
Couples in Shirley Oaks often marry locally and hold the reception at a venue nearby. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so ask your venue about vehicle access and loading early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Shirley Oaks questions
We’re having a ceremony at Shirley Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 will check the access.
What about parking in Shirley Oaks?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices too. We will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
