FAQs for Forge Wood
Is Forge Wood close to London?
About 25 miles from central London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Worth Park Gardens?
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 guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can we add a bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Step by step
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Forge Wood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- Food, drinks or both
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
