Book Mexican catering in Littlestead Green
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
About our Mexican catering in Littlestead Green
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. At company summer parties and fundraisers and school events, we can serve burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Littlestead Green, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Evenings in Littlestead Green stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

Planning help
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Include at least one vegan filling
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Questions from Littlestead Green
How far is Littlestead Green from central London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What’s the nearest station to Littlestead Green for guests?
Guests can use Reading station, about 2.3 miles south-west of Littlestead Green.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you come to Littlestead Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Littlestead Green is within our area. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How it compares
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Occasions we cater for in Littlestead Green
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
