Mexican catering in Sonning Common, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. At weddings and evening receptions and family celebrations, we will put together a menu of loaded nachos, burrito bowls and tacos and more.
A place like Sonning Common may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. In Sonning Common, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.

- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. 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. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
