Common questions in Upper Upnor
Is Upper Upnor close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve in Lower Lines Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Medway. Find your area.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Wedding Mexican catering in Upper Upnor, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar at a wedding feels relaxed and generous. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. For engagement parties and weddings with mixed diets, we can serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, loaded nachos and tacos.
A wedding in a small place like Upper Upnor often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
About the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips with cheese, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
Taco bar wedding breakfast
A taco bar makes a relaxed main meal. You choose the fillings with us.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
- Permission from the venue or landowner

How we price wedding Mexican catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests we are serving
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- How we drive in and where we can park
- What power and water the site has
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Upper Upnor, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means evening food is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- We plan the food with you: wedding breakfast, evening food or both.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- Once service is done, we pack away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate fillings and toppings cover every diet. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Allergen information for every dish
