Mexican catering in Whitley Wood
Mexican catering in Whitley Wood, served fresh
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It suits big birthday celebrations and engagement celebrations, serving burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
A place like Whitley Wood may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
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. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

A closer look at the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Burritos are filling and easy to eat on the move. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Mention any other caterers or courses
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
To get a price, just send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Common questions in Whitley Wood
What’s the nearest station to Whitley Wood for guests?
Guests can use Reading Green Park station, about 1.9 miles north-west of Whitley Wood.
How far is Whitley Wood from central London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
