Mexican catering in Waterside
Mexican catering in Waterside, served fresh
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. It works well for company summer parties and retirement and leaving parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Waterside, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Waterside: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Waterside?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is Waterside close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Mexican catering around Waterside
Waterside is about 1 mile south of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Events in Waterside are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Waterside is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Waterside to Reading (about 24 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Nearby historic houses include Chenies Manor House (3.4 miles south-east) and Cholesbury Manor House (4.6 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Waterside, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
We cover events in every part of HP5. Streets in the area include Moor Road, Trapp's Lane and Hodds Wood Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Waterside, we cover Chesham Bois (1 mile south), Amersham (1 mile south), Amersham on the Hill (2 miles south), Hyde Heath (2 miles west) and Woodrow (3 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Aylesbury (12 miles north-west), High Wycombe (8 miles south-west), Marlow (11 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (6 miles south), Chalfont St Peter (7 miles south) and Elmhurst (13 miles north-west).
Nearby you will also find Amersham Hospital (2.5 miles south) and Hawridge Court (3.3 miles north). Open spaces near Waterside include Sands Bank.
- Nearby schools include Chesham Grammar School (0.8 miles north) and Home Tuition Service (1.5 miles south)
- Local pubs include The Pheasant pub (less than half a mile south)
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Around midsummer it stays light in Waterside until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you are done, we pack away.
Getting ready 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 what power and water the site has

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
For food that feels relaxed but generous, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Waterside. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
