Mexican catering in Newbury, served fresh
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. We serve quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for birthday parties and office lunches and team days.
In a rural place like Newbury, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night or 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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Newbury: venues, access and local tips

Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Newbury, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Newbury, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start

Newbury questions
Do you come to events in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is Newbury close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us 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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
