Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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’ll do the serving.

Questions from Littlestead Green
Which station should guests use for Littlestead Green?
Guests can use Reading station, about 2.3 miles south-west of Littlestead Green.
Will you travel to a small place like Littlestead Green?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Hiring the truck or trailer usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Littlestead Green? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
What we need at the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Parking arrangements if we’re not on private land
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What affects the price in Littlestead Green
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
- 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. Contact us for a quote.
