Mexican catering for Caversham events
A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Mexican catering in Caversham, from our food truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. It suits retirement and leaving parties and school fairs and fundraisers, with tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
There are lots of options in a town like Caversham: a drive, a club, a hall or a hired venue. We will check the spot and the route in with you before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December event in Caversham will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

What else we do in Caversham
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Where the truck can go in Caversham
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:

For a christening or wedding at a church such as Grace Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.

Caversham questions
Is it possible to have you in Eldon Square?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How far is Caversham from central London?
It is about 38 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much will it cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you will get a quote for your event.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will go through the licensing with you before the day.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
