Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in South Croydon
We can cater the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. A taco bar for the meal and loaded nachos or tacos for the evening works well. It suits informal wedding breakfasts and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
London weddings around South Croydon often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue. For a truck or trailer, the venue needs a courtyard, forecourt or car park we can drive into, so check vehicle access with the venue early. Parking and loading in London need planning, and all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our food truck or trailer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Questions from South Croydon
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Augustine: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Duppas Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do evening food as well as the main meal?
We can. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you come to South Croydon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and South Croydon is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table.
