Mapledurwell: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Mapledurwell?

It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How our Mexican catering works in Mapledurwell
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. Popular choices include loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos, and it’s a good fit for weddings and evening receptions and fairs and festivals.
In a rural place like Mapledurwell, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Loaded nachos
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Quesadillas
- Burrito bowls

- When final numbers are due
- How bad weather is handled
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
