About our wedding Mexican catering in Shorne Ridgeway
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. Popular choices include a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, loaded nachos and fresh guacamole and salsas, and it’s a good fit for civil partnerships and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
Rural weddings around Shorne Ridgeway have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Shorne Ridgeway
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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’ll check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits 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.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have cover for guests if the weather turns
- Include suppliers who need feeding
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Check your date with us early
The truck or trailer can be placed where guests can see it.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or staff, and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. At midsummer, sunset in Shorne Ridgeway is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
