About our Mexican catering in Green Park
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. Popular choices include quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits markets and community events and family celebrations.
Somewhere as small as Green Park, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Events we cater in Green Park
Tacos and burritos go down well with most crowds: familiar, filling and easy to eat wherever guests are.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Family celebrations
- Markets and community events
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Summer garden parties
For a christening or wedding at a church such as St Paul's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if it rains
- A clear list of what’s included
- Payment terms and deposit
- Allergen information for each dish
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Count children separately
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Planning a food truck in Green Park
Green Park is about 2 miles south of Reading, in Reading. Wherever your event is in the RG2 area, we will come to your venue or site. We serve in 34 places in Reading.
Guests arriving by train will find that Reading Green Park station is about 0.5 miles away. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Whitley Park Primary and Nursery School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Wherever your event is in RG2, RG30 and RG7, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Sunapee Road, Flagstaff Road and Longwater Avenue or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. Nearby, we also cater events in Great Lea Common (1 mile south-east), Whitley (1 mile east), Whitley Wood (1 mile south-east), Coley Park (1 mile north) and Three Mile Cross (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Caversham (4 miles north), Norcot (3 miles north-west), Tilehurst Within (3 miles north-west), Arborfield Garrison (5 miles south-east), Caversham Heights (4 miles north) and Sonning Common (6 miles north).

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Green Park until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
