Wedding Mexican catering in Tilgate, served fresh
Evening guests want something hot, quick and filling, and tacos or loaded nachos from our truck or trailer fit the bill without stopping the dancing for long. For day-after celebrations and garden and marquee weddings, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and evening tacos.
Weddings in a place like Tilgate 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Should I do it 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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Check your date with us early
- Plan a covered area for eating in case of rain
Allergen information is available for every dish, and dishes are labelled.
Include your suppliers in the numbers.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Occasions we cater for in Tilgate
It feels like your wedding, not a standard menu, especially if you love Mexican food.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Civil partnerships and vow renewals
- Receptions after a small ceremony
- Rustic barn weddings
- Big weddings with every diet
Couples who choose a church such as Holy Trinity for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. Service can start as guests arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- A food hygiene rating you can check
- The deadline for final numbers
- How long the service runs
- Travel and parking costs
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- What you’d like on the menu
- A picture of where we’d park
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Tilgate is around 7:05pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:50pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.

You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving your guests. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.

Yes: one part of the day, or both main meals. Tell us what you have in mind.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
