Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Tell us what other food is being served
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Mexican catering in Nuffield, from our food truck or trailer
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and quesadillas, and it suits weddings and evening receptions and family gatherings and christenings.
Somewhere like Nuffield, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning a food truck in Nuffield
Nuffield is about 8 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Nuffield. We serve in all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 9 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Greys Court (4.2 miles south-east) and Stonor Park (4.7 miles east). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. Venues in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Nuffield, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in RG9. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Churchfield, Timbers Lane and Nuffield Hill or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Heath End (1 mile south), Stoke Row (2 miles south), Checkendon (2 miles south), Ipsden (2 miles south-west) and Hook End (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (15 miles north-west), Didcot (9 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (13 miles north-west), Thame (12 miles north), Henley-on-Thames (6 miles south-east) and Benson (4 miles north-west).

- Nearby, you’ll find The Crown Public House (0.5 miles north-east)
Why choose Mexican catering in Nuffield?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Questions from Nuffield
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Chilterns 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.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Nuffield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Nuffield is within our area. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.

About the menu
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings, made for sharing.
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings are agreed with you, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Nuffield close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Get a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
