How our wedding Mexican catering works in Thornton Heath
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Guests build their own plates from warm tortillas, fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. On the menu are loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, which works well for food for evening guests and informal wedding breakfasts.
Couples in Thornton Heath 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 check vehicle access with the venue early. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Where the truck can go in Thornton Heath
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
In Thornton Heath, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.

Thornton Heath is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Thornton Heath to London (about 7 miles away).
Planning photos in Grangewood Park? It is worth checking the park’s rules first. With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St Stephen, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

- Food, drinks or both
- Timings and hours
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
Thornton Heath: your questions answered
Where would you park in Thornton Heath?
It can be tricky, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. A parking suspension may be needed, and the whole of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
What if the photos overrun?
It happens at most weddings. Food is served to order, so we can start when you’re ready.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. December weddings in Thornton Heath lose the light by about 3:55pm, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we will park.

- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
