Mexican party catering near Nettlebed

Mexican party catering in Nettlebed, served fresh

Many gardens and drives can take a truck or trailer, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Send us a picture if you are unsure. It works well for exam-results parties and christenings and naming days, serving quesadillas, burritos and loaded nachos.

Near Nettlebed, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Planning a party in Nettlebed

Nettlebed is about 7 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. For a party in Nettlebed, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Nettlebed. Nettlebed is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Nettlebed to Reading (about 9 miles away).

Once the service at a church like Church of St Bartholomew is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Nettlebed, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.

Wherever your party is in RG9, we can bring Mexican party catering to you. Local streets include The Ridgeway, Wanbourne Lane and Watlington Street; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. For parties just outside Nettlebed, we cover Catslip (1 mile south-east), Highmoor (2 miles south), Highmoor Cross (2 miles south), Bix (2 miles south-east) and Shepherd's Green (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Didcot (11 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Thame (12 miles north), Henley-on-Thames (5 miles south-east), Benson (6 miles north-west) and Chinnor (9 miles north).

Open spaces near Nettlebed include Warburg Nature Reserve.

  • Pubs nearby include The Sun Inn Public House (under half a mile south-east)

Should I do it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

How it works

We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. A summer party in Nettlebed stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You choose fillings, sides and extras.
  3. We confirm power, water and the way in.
  4. Service starts at the agreed time.
  5. We pack away and the party carries on.

Getting ready for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Give us a contact for the day

Getting a price

Send us the date, your venue or RG9 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just use our quote form.

How to compare caterers

Catering for every guest

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
  • Include at least one vegan filling
  • Arrange a gazebo in case of rain

If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.

Nachos for sharing while the party gets going.

Common questions in Nettlebed

Is Nettlebed close to London?

About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?

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.

Do you do a taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.

When should I book?

The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability for you.

Do you provide allergen information for each dish?

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Do you need power and water?

That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.

Working with your venue

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Nettlebed? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.

What Mexican party catering costs

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Parking and the route in
  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
  • Serving staff

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.

What to tell us

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • What power and water the site has
  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • Expected numbers
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
