Mexican party catering for your party in Norcot
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. It suits milestone birthdays and summer garden parties, serving burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas.
Parties around Norcot are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A food truck or trailer fits right in. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, planned around your event. In Norcot, it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but dark by about 3:55pm in December, so the time of year shapes an evening party.
- Tell us when and where, and how many.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan a vegan filling alongside the others
After service, we pack away, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Comparing your options
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. A truck or trailer serving hot food feels like an event. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why us?

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Serving staff
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many guests we are serving
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Common questions in Norcot
Which station is closest to Norcot?
Guests can use Tilehurst station, about 0.8 miles north of Norcot.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Round Copse?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Often, yes, if there is level, firm ground and access wide and high enough for the truck or trailer. Send us a photo of the space.
