How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we’re needed on site
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.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of where we’d park
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Fords Farm
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Matthew's?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Calcot Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Reading. See all areas.
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.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Step by step
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Fords Farm until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Taco catering in Fords Farm: local tips
Fords Farm is about 2 miles west of Reading, in Reading. From the centre of Fords Farm to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in all 34 towns and villages across Reading, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
A gathering in Calcot Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Historic houses near Fords Farm include Mapledurham House (3.1 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early.
For Mexican catering in RG30 and RG31, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include Low Lane, Mill Lane and Bath Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Horncastle (1 mile north), Southcote (1 mile east), Burghfield Bridge (1 mile south), Beansheaf Farm (1 mile west) and Calcot (1 mile west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Caversham (4 miles north-east), Shinfield (4 miles south-east), Arborfield Garrison (7 miles south-east), Caversham Heights (3 miles north-east), Whitley Wood (3 miles south-east) and Sonning Common (6 miles north).

Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
