About our wedding Mexican catering in Southcote
The truck or trailer adds a splash of colour to the day, and guests like watching their food being served. For parties after a register office wedding and gatherings the day after a wedding, we can serve evening tacos, quesadillas and loaded nachos for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Southcote often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A truck or trailer parked by the marquee fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding Mexican catering or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a larger team. We bring our kitchen with us, and a taco bar feels more relaxed. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Book food, drinks or both
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Quoted for your event

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Southcote, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening food is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
