Mexican catering in Arborfield
Arborfield: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Arborfield from central London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How many guests can you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll take it from there.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How our Mexican catering works in Arborfield
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. Popular choices include quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos, and it’s a good fit for leaving dos and retirement parties and birthday parties.
For a rural spot like Arborfield, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer.
What affects the price in Arborfield
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- The menu you choose
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
- How we drive in and where we can park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Daylight in Arborfield runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
