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:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us how many children are coming
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Mexican catering in Sonning, from our food truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and tacos, and it suits leaving parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In a rural place like Sonning, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Questions from Sonning
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Is Sonning close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- How we drive in and where we can park
