Corporate Mexican catering for Norcot events
Corporate catering around Norcot
Norcot is about 2 miles west of Reading, in Reading. Across the RG30 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Norcot is one of 34 towns and villages in Reading we cover.
Nearby historic houses include Mapledurham House (1.8 miles north) and Basildon Park (4.9 miles north-west). Hiring an estate for a company day out? Check its policy on outside caterers and vehicle access before you commit. Norcot is about 40 miles from central London, which makes it handy for team days out of the city.
For corporate Mexican catering in RG30 and RG31, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Streets in the area include Ash Road, Tay Road and Tyle Road, and a work event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater work events include Tilehurst Within (1 mile south-west), Tilehurst (1 mile west), Horncastle (1 mile south), Little Heath (1 mile west) and Fords Farm (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Caversham (3 miles north-east), Shinfield (5 miles south-east), Arborfield Garrison (8 miles south-east), Whitley Wood (4 miles south-east), Sonning Common (4 miles north-east) and Whitley (4 miles south-east). As one of the bigger places in Reading, Norcot has plenty of venues and spaces for work events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
A little further out are Battle Hospital (1.3 miles east) and Royal Berkshire Regiment Museum (1 mile east). Open spaces near Norcot include South Lake and Moor Copse Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Prospect School (1 mile south) and Battle School (1.3 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Butchers Arms (0.6 miles north-west)
Corporate Mexican catering in Norcot, served fresh
It’s easy for work catering to leave people out. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with allergen information for every dish, so the whole team eats the same kind of meal. On the menu are quesadillas, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for open days and team-building days.
Teams near Norcot often go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Let us know about the site, parking and power. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Comparing your options
Boxed lunches are convenient but cold. A food truck serves it hot. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Norcot, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where people queue.
- First, we check the date and the site.
- You pick tacos, bowls, a taco bar or a mix.
- We send the paperwork your venue asks for.
- Your team orders at the hatch or builds their own at the taco bar.
- We serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand

Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Questions from Norcot
How far is Norcot from London?
It’s about 40 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is it possible to have you in Round Copse?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes, with planning. Tell us your numbers and how long the break is, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
