Mexican catering in Ashampstead, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. We serve quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and burritos, and it suits birthday parties and engagement celebrations.
In a small place like Ashampstead, events are normally in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

When the service is at a church such as Church of St Clement, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. For guests coming by train, Goring & Streatley station is about 3.2 miles away. Venues in and around the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Ashampstead, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Perfect for your event in Ashampstead
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Company summer parties
- Retirement and leaving parties
Historic houses near Ashampstead include Basildon Park (2.9 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one.

How far is Ashampstead from London?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us what other food is being served

Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
