Mexican catering in Arborfield Cross, from our truck or trailer
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. For birthday parties and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of tacos, burritos and loaded nachos for your guests.
In a rural place like Arborfield Cross, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Build-your-own taco bar

How the day works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Arborfield Cross will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

FAQs for Arborfield Cross
Could you serve in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Arborfield Cross for guests?
Winnersh station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
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.
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.
Mexican catering or something else?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
