About our wedding Mexican catering in Southend
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. It works well for receptions after an intimate ceremony and rustic barn weddings, serving burrito bowls, fresh guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos.
Rural weddings around Southend 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Space for guests to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How we price wedding Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- The length of service
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
